The match began cautiously. The first dangerous moment was created near "Banga's" goal when the ball flew past the post after a header by K.Jasaitis from Vilnius. In the 10th minute G.Nikabadze impressively struck at the Vilnius goal, but V.Jakimavičius directed the ball into the corner. G.Nikabadze forced the opponent's goalkeeper to shine once again in the 15th minute, when after a shot from a sharp angle, V.Jakimavičius again sent the ball beyond the back line. After an active start, the pace of the game slowed down and the teams spent more time in the middle of the field. It was only at the end of the first half that "Banga" increased their activity and threatened the opponents' goal several times. One of the most dangerous moments was G.Nikabadze's long shot, when the ball flew just a few centimeters above the goal.
After the break, "Banga" made two substitutions, but the game did not settle. Neither team stood out, but they only needed one mistake from the away team. Midway through the second half, after a corner kick, the opponents sent the ball into the goal with their head, V.Myrnyi blocked a difficult shot, but M.Grigalevičius outsmarted everyone and sent the ball into the net.
Despite "Banga's" attempts to equalize, the result remained unchanged and the Vilnius team secured three points.
