Expansion of the league to ten teams from eight, for the upcoming season, also ensured that even the last placedLootus Alutaguse had a chance to stay in the top flight, but were defeated by Esiliiga's fourth teamDünamo Tallinn, winning the away leg 2-1, but then losing at home 0-4 a week later.Tervis Pärnu were later denied theMeistriliiga license, sealing an unlikely promotion for the fifth-placedFC Kuressaare.
