Pärnu JK Vaprus U21 crushed Tallinna Kalev II 7-0 in the Esiliiga B regular season on Saturday, September 6th. The hosts dominated from the opening whistle, and by then it was clear this would not be a contest for long. Regular Season - 27 was the stage for what proved to be a one-sided affair.
S. Smirnov opened the scoring in the 16th minute, and here's the thing — the momentum shifted immediately. A. Korre doubled the lead just seven minutes later, in the 23rd minute, before the break. Vaprus played the second half a man up on confidence rather than numbers.
The second half began with more of the same. S. Kolvart found the net in the 56th minute, and Smirnov completed his brace six minutes later in the 61st. To be fair, Kalev II had nothing to lose and nothing to show for it.
Three goals in the final twenty minutes sealed the result. K. Kutsar scored in the 73rd, S. A. Jaakson in the 83rd, and E. T. Pikk added the final touch in the 86th. Seven goals, no response — and here's the thing about matches like this, they are decided in moments.
The result leaves Vaprus U21 fifth on 43 points from 27 games, with 13 wins, four draws and ten defeats. Kalev II remain ninth, their record reading six wins, five draws and 16 losses for 23 points. The gap between them is now 20 points, and that is a margin that does not close easily.
