The biggest derby in Estonian football delivered drama, quality, and a crucial result as FC Flora Tallinn came from behind to beat arch-rivals Levadia Tallinn 2–1 at the Kadrioru Stadium. The win extended Flora’s unbeaten run in the Premium Liiga and tightened their grip on the title race, while dealing a blow to Levadia’s hopes of reclaiming domestic supremacy.
Match Overview
Played in front of a capacity crowd on a warm June evening, the match began at a frenetic pace. Levadia, backed by their passionate home support, took the initiative early and were rewarded inside 20 minutes. A well-worked corner routine saw central defender Mikk Reintam rise highest to power a header past the Flora goalkeeper, sending the home fans into raptures.
Flora, however, showed the composure of seasoned champions. They adjusted their shape, pressing higher and forcing Levadia into mistakes. The equaliser arrived shortly before half-time when winger Rauno Alliku cut inside from the left and curled a beautiful shot into the far corner – a goal that shifted the momentum decisively.
Second Half Drama
The second half saw Flora dominate possession, but Levadia remained dangerous on the counter. The turning point came in the 67th minute when a speculative long-range effort from Martin Miller took a wicked deflection, looping over the Levadia keeper to give Flora the lead. Despite late pressure from the hosts, including a close-range header that was brilliantly saved, Flora held on for a famous away win.
