„TOPsport A lygoje“ finished a series of three consecutive victories for Telšių „Džiugas“. In the 9th round, FA „Šiauliai“ took care of that, defeating their opponents in a match held in Klaipėda with a score of 1:0 (1:0).

The first shot on goal was taken in the 16th minute when, after a pass from Scotty Sadzoutas from the left flank, Danielis Romanovskis was close to scoring. Soon after, Lukas Ankudinovas forced Gustas Baliutavičius to make a save.

As the first half was nearing its end, Oleksandras Kurcevas threatened with a dangerous attack, but in the 43rd minute, FA „Šiauliai“ forward Milanas Džokičius found himself in the right place at the right time and sent the ball into the almost empty goal.

After the break, the representatives of the City of Sun could have solidified their advantage; however, they failed to capitalize on counterattacks. Once, after a mistake by Marius Paukštė, D. Romanovskis shot from distance. In the final minutes, the šiauliečiai had to defend more as attempts by Deitono Vinckaus and L. Ankudinovas were thwarted by G. Baliutavičius.
