In the friendly match, Gediminas Paulauskas and Mantas Savėnas, who were preparing for the Lithuania national team match against France, were unavailable to help "Ekranas." In the "Atlantas" team, two legionnaires participated in the match review - Luka Aniničius from Croatia, and Diogo from Brazil, who took to the field as a substitute.
The teams started the match quite actively, but no goals were scored in the first half. The first goal came in the middle of the second half - after a mistake by "Ekranas" goalkeeper Arvydas Skrupskis, Douglas from Nigeria scored into an empty net.
However, just ten minutes later, Deimantas Bička equalized the score with a header, and in the 74th minute, after an individual run into the penalty area, "Ekranas" defender Andrius Šidlauskas scored the winning goal.
