Defending champions Gintra ended the Baltic Women's Football League regular season with a defeat.
After a disastrous start in Tallinn, Olli-Pekka Ojala's side 0:4 (0–3 at half-time) lost to Flora. Their final regular-season position depends on results elsewhere.
Under the Baltic League format, the top four regular-season teams advance to the semi-finals.
Injured captain Algimantė Mikutaitė was unavailable, while four newcomers debuted. Rashida Beal and Anni Rusanen started; Silja Jaatinen and Monica Hagstrom came on after half-time.
Starting lineup: G. Vasilenko (46' min. A. Klevečkaitė), T. Romanovskaja (46' min. S. Jaatinen), L. Peabody, R. Beal (52' min. M. Proscevičiūtė), L. Kubiliūtė (46' min. A. Kazarina), S. Amorim, K. Hawkinson (46' min. M. Hagstrom), A. Rusanen ('72 min. D. Misiūnaitė), E. Šupelytė, S. Shamase (72' min. U. Bujokaitė), T. Shamase.
Goals:
„Flora“: L. Tammik (19', 74') – 2, G. Saar (2'), K. Teern (6') one each.
Gintra began very uncertainly. After just two minutes, a misunderstanding allowed home striker Getter Saar to score for 1–0. The unsettled visitors continued making mistakes, and the Estonians doubled their advantage in the sixth minute.
Although Gintra began keeping possession for longer after that terrible start, they could not recover. Home captain Lisette Tammik's perfectly placed long-range strike made it 3–0 in the 19th minute. Gintra achieved little before the interval.
Four changes followed at half-time. Finns Jaatinen and Hagstrom debuted alongside incoming Aušra Klevečkaitė and Agnieška Kazarina. Soon afterwards, the coaches committed more resources forward, replacing defender Beal with striker Meida Proscevičiūtė.
The changes brought no reward. Tallinn's captain converted a free kick from 16 metres in the 74th minute to make it 4–0. That remained the final score, and Gintra had to accept their opponents' superiority.
Next Saturday, Gintra face BIIK in the friendly Amber Cup tournament.
