Substitute striker Karel Mustmaa scored his first international goal 10 minutes from time as Estonia retained the Baltic Cup with a 1-0 win over Lithuania in Tallinn.
Emotions spilled over after the final whistle at A. Le Coq Arena, with Lithuanian players unhappy with several refereeing decisions. Players from both teams exchanged words, and a minor scuffle briefly broke out before order was restored. In total, 13 yellow cards were shown, nine of them to Lithuania, though no players were sent off.
Estonia hosted the June 6-9 tournament, having also won the previous edition in 2024. The three Baltic states were joined by guest nation Faroe Islands.
Estonia has now won two of the last three Baltic Cups, having also triumphed in 2021. The 2022 edition was won by guest nation Iceland. The icing on the cake is that Estonia won the U19 and U21 Baltic Cup tournaments as well.
