Paide Linnameeskond, went into the second leg of their tie against Welsh club Bala Town with a 2-1 lead. However, the Lakesiders quickly drew level on aggregate thanks to a twelfth minute strike from Nathan Peate.
Both sides created chances, but with neither able to get a decisive goal, the game headed into extra time. Though Bala's Alex Downes was sent off on 110 minutes, the game seemed destined for penalties.
Then, with the clock ticking down, Oskar Hõim received the ball from Patrik Kristal on the edge of the Bala box. Hõim's strike could not have been sweeter, as it sailed into the back of the net to seal a 3-2 aggregate victory for the Estonians in the last minute of extra time and the last kick of the match.
Amidst the ensuing chaos that erupted on the home team's bench and in the stands, head coach Ivan Stojković was seen desperately trying to restore some composure. But there was little he could do to calm this wave of Paidemonium as his side held on for what little time remained to seal their place in the next round against Icelandic club Stjarnan.
