The Lithuanian champion Panevėžys "Ekranas" managed to resist at home against Barysau's BATE. Although the Belarusians had a quantitative advantage for the majority of the second half, no goals were scored - the match ended with a score of 0-0.
Arguably the best chance in this match was for the visitors' forward Artem Kontsevoy, but in the 85th minute, his shot from close range hit the crossbar.
BATE had the initiative for a long time and posed a more dangerous attack, while "Ekranas" failed to create very real opportunities near the opponents' goal. Despite this, they were unable to gain an advantage, so the winner of the tie and the owner of a ticket to the fourth qualifying round will be determined on August 2 in Belarus.
