Paide will invite Magpies to the Pärnu Rannastaadion in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round on Thursday. They met in the first leg last week, and the hosts registered a 3-2 away win.
Linnameeskond scored twice in the first half, and the visitors managed to level the score by scoring a goal in either half. The hosts were awarded a late penalty, and Robi Saarma scored the match-winner in stoppage time to complete his brace. It was their first win in July, having suffered a 3-0 home loss to Levadia in the Meistriliiga earlier this month.
The visitors played their first competitive match of the season and suffered a narrow defeat. They had qualified for the second round of the Conference League qualifiers last season and will look to at least match that record.
