Paide Linnameeskond took control early and never let go, beating FC Hegelmann 3-0 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier. The Estonian side scored twice before half-time to put the tie beyond reach, with a third goal adding gloss after the break.
Pa Modou Sohna got the breakthrough in the 17th minute, finishing after a pass from Daniel Luts. Abdourahman Badamosi doubled the lead three minutes before the interval, this time Sohna turning provider. Kristofer Piht rounded off the scoring in the 69th minute with an unassisted strike.
Sohna was the standout performer, both scoring and setting up a goal, while Paide's defence kept a clean sheet. The visitors had three players booked—Domas Slendzoka, Vedad Radonja, and Oskar Hoim—while Paide's Romet Nigula also saw yellow.
