Three clubs from Tartu and one from Narva were also represented. The win by Flora II was a bit unexpected, but as they had played well in the previous rounds, it was really no big surprise that they overcame the Meistriliiga side. Maag Tammeka had no problem defeating Santos, the only club from the second division. While the main team were victorious, Maag Tammeka's reserve team lost to Flora, conceding two goals in the first eight minutes and two more later in the game. The only game containing both teams from the Top Division culminated with an easy victory for Levadia against 2001 cup-winner Trans. 15 April 2008 18:00 Levadia Narva Trans 3–1 Zelinski 2Andreev 44 57 Lõsanov 74 Kadrioru staadion Tallinn 150 Hannes Kaasik 16 April 2008 17:00 Maag Tammeka II Flora 1–4 Perlin 58 Post 7Anier 8 71Hurt 57 Annelinna kunstmuruväljak Tartu 125 Urmo Visnapuu 16 April 2008 18:45 Tallinna Kalev Flora U21 1–3 Tikenberg 37 Reinsoo 58 pen.Toomet 76Kallaste 85 Kalevi kunstmuruväljak Tallinn 90 Kristo Tohver 16 April 2008 19:45 Santos† Maag Tammeka 0–3 Ossipov 23Starovoitov 52Prosa 82 Annelinna kunstmuruväljak Tartu 170 Raivo Lattik †–Välk 494 Tartu changed their name to FC Santos Tartu.
