Matches

Finland vs Estonia

11 August 1922 and the match against Finland is in the history books for two reasons. Mainly, because when Arnold Kuulman scored a goal in the 40th minute, he became first ever to do so for the blueshirts. Secondly, it is still, after almost 90 years, the heviest defeat Estonia has ever beared. For Kuulman it was the 4th and last appearance for the team. While Jarl Öhman scored a double-hattrick, HJK's Verner Eklöf scored third time in a row against Estonia.[1]

Latvia vs Estonia

It was Latvia's first official international match. Debutant August Silber was brother of fellow international Otto Silber. Verner Eklöf, a finnish international and coach, was the referee.[2]
