The Premium Liiga clash between FC Kuressaare and JK Tallinna Kalev on May 20, 2023, ended with JK Tallinna Kalev clinching a narrow 2-1 victory despite FC Kuressaare scoring the opening goal early in the first half.

FC Kuressaare began the proceedings strongly, taking the lead within the 45th minute. Their strong start, however, couldn't be maintained throughout the game as JK Tallinna Kalev retaliated robustly in the second half, reversing the scoreboard in their favor with two well-executed goals.

Notably, there was a high level of aggression coming from both sides, given the accumulation of five yellow cards in total. The home team, FC Kuressaare, was responsible for three of these, while the away team picked up two - an aspect which may have arguably influenced the game's tempo and discipline.

In terms of possession and control, JK Tallinna Kalev seemed to have a slight edge over their competitors, evidenced by their 9 successful corner kicks, compared to the 7 achieved by Kuressaare. Corner statistics often indicate offensive control and pressure, suggesting JK Tallinna Kalev was successful in this regard.

The pivotal turning point of the game undoubtedly came in the second half. JK Tallinna Kalev managed to swiftly capitalize on two goal opportunities in what seemed like moments apart. Their first equalizer came at 1:09:21 and was quickly followed by a winning strike at 1:05:53. This rapid double blow seemingly destabilised FC Kuressaare, as they couldn’t manage to make a significant comeback afterwards.

Neither team had a player sent off indicating fairly clean, albeit energetic, gameplay. Still, this didn't translate to better defense for FC Kuressaare against the fierce attack posed by JK Tallinna Kalev.

It can therefore be deduced that JK Tallinna Kalev's intense second-half comeback combined with their overall superior ball control were key factors in their victory. FC Kuressaare's vulnerabilities appeared to be in maintaining control and managing the offensive pressure from the opposing team, issues they will be looking to address in their future matches.
