Viimsi beat Elva 5-0 in the Esiliiga A regular season on 2026-09-10, a result that shifted the pressure onto the visitors. The hosts took control early and never let go, moving up to second place with 47 points after 27 games. Elva remain fourth on 44 points, though the gap between them now feels wider than before.
By then, the pattern was already set. D. Ekharts opened the scoring in the twelfth minute, and N. Krimm added a second three minutes later. And here's the thing — the twenty-first minute brought Ekharts's second goal, completing a four-goal burst that left Elva chasing shadows. The visitors had no answer to that kind of intensity.
K. Milk extended the lead in the seventy-first minute, with another goal following in the eighty-first, though no scorer was recorded for that one. Viimsi finished with 16 shots on target against Elva's three, and the difference in quality showed through. They ran the show from start to finish, and Elva simply couldn't find their feet.
The statistics tell a familiar story: 50-50 possession on paper, but 16 versus 3 shots on target tells you who actually threatened. Viimsi registered 113 attacks to Elva's 104, yet the output gap was enormous. To be fair, Elva did win their last two matches 1-0 each, but this was a different level entirely. They picked up two clean sheets before this, and now they have three goals to find in the next match.
The table now shows Viimsi sitting two points clear of Elva with one game remaining, though the psychological weight has shifted. A loss like this doesn't just cost points — it changes how a team talks to itself. Elva's recent form included victories over Nõmme Kalju II and Nõmme United II, but beating bigger sides is where results are won.
We had backed the home win at 54 per cent confidence, and that prediction held up. It wasn't a surprise — Viimsi had shown they could score heavily, beating Levadia II 5-0 earlier in the season. They punished Elva for mistakes and didn't look back once the momentum was theirs.
