Levadia on Verge of Title After Defeating Flora
FC Levadia claimed all three points in what was dubbed the “title decider” on Saturday against second place FC Flora.
Flora, beginning the day two points behind Levadia, took the lead through Irakli Logua at the very end of the first half, but Levadia retaliated through Ingemar Teever (59th minute) and Igor Subbotin (77th) to seal the win in front of around 2,000 spectators.
