Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

FBK Radailiai's supporters rose to their feet, but Arvydas Voveris was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

FBK Radailiai's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Conrado Matia in the 24th minute.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nerijus Užpalis in the 83rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Aras Pocevičius saved Saltiniai from getting behind. 85 minutes had been played when some careless play by Saltiniai's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner.
