Estonia 31–5 Greece | Estonia 32–10 Kosovo | Estonia 15–28 Slovakia
Estonia’s final group match was against tournament favourites Slovakia. Though Slovakia won, Estonia scored 15 points — better than last year’s 14. Estonia dominated their matches against Greece and Kosovo.
Today’s semi-final: Estonia vs Gibraltar (Group A winners) — kick-off 12:44 Estonian time. A win means the final and a guaranteed medal — a loss means the bronze match. Either way, Estonia are guaranteed a minimum 4th place, with the medal still within reach.
