After 25 played minutes FC Karamba got a freekick which was hit by Rimvydas Andrašiūnas.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Nojus Bikas made a kick off. Nojus Bikas scored 2-2 in the 53rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Enrique Mazza, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Pan Yi Mo struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Enrique Mazza didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Geležinis Vilkas. After 62 minutes, Kristupas Vosylius mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Karamba and the Geležinis Vilkas players grew even worse after the yellow card.
