Seven consecutive wins for Maardu Linnameeskond II FC Starmedia

Maardu Linnameeskond II FC Starmedia 3-1 Jõgeva SK Noorus-96

Ostrovski 3', Mištšenko 78', 90'+1' - Hiljurand 74'.

Saturday, 20 September 2025, 2 pm local time (11 am UTC), Infoneti Lasnamäe Stadium, Tallinn, Estonia, the 21st round of the Estonian Second League B - South-East Group.

Maardu Linnameeskond II FC Starmedia has a fantastic winning streak since the beginning of August, including (so far) 7 wins in a row, one of them over former leaders Tallinna FC Smsraha, which had been unbeaten before that match. The last victim is Jõgeva SK Noorus-96, another top team, which came to Infoneti Lasnamäe Stadium after 6 wins and a draw in the second half of the competition, and were about to take the lead if they were to win this game. It was not the case, and the situation gets even more complicated at the top of the table, with at least four teams having real chances for promotion, including Maardu Linnameeskond II FC Starmedia and Jõgeva SK Noorus-96.

The game started very well for the home side, which scored after less than 3 minutes by means of Artjom Ostrovski: 1-0 (3').

The visitors tried hard to equalize, and they eventually succeeded in the second half, as Jürgen Hiljurand scored: 1-1 (74').

However, their joy lasted only for a few minutes, because the goalscorer of the competition, Sergei Mištšenko, scored a brace for the home side (in 78' and 90'+1'), providing yet another win for Maardu Linnameeskond II FC Starmedia.

Maardu LM II Starmedia: Raider - Paništšev, Gasinski, Tõsjatov - Tsõmbaljuk (Butajev 90'), Jeremejev, Sjöblom, Marašov - Vtorushin (Bolotin 65'), Mištšenko, Ostrovski (Lebedev 46').

Jõgeva SK Noorus-96: Kukk - Sirkas, Tikerberi, Hiljurand, Kuldmägi - Lepp - Koval, Lõhmus, Liblik, Kropyvko - Rosin (Orav 46').

Referee: Paul Kask.

Yellow cards: Tsõmbaljuk 12', Jeremejev 73', Bolotin 80', Tõsjatov 90'+3' - Tikerberi 45'+2', Hiljurand 59', Sirkas 77'.
