Spectators: 7875 (Terracing: 5907, Seating: 1811, VIP seats: 157) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Modestas Misiūnas made the kick off which started today's match. Nedas Račiūnas's late challenge caught a Olimpo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Nedas Račiūnas helped the player get up and apologised. In the 5th minute there was a penalty for Olimpo. Adomas Čyvas stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Artūras Sirvydis. 0-1. 8 minutes into the match, Olimpo's goalkeeper Feliksas Mintauskas had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Modestas Gasparaitis. Aldas Dagys received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Artūras Sirvydis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Feliksas Mintauskas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ugnius Zybartas in the 21st minute of play. Liutauras Jacinaitis hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 26th minute, Ugnius Zybartas managed to get in a good position for a shot. UNITED's supporters rose to their feet, but Ugnius Zybartas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Feliksas Mintauskas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 35th minute the ball was on its way in behind UNITED's goalkeeper Artūras Sirvydis, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 36th play minute Modestas Gasparaitis came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Feliksas Mintauskas. 2-1. With his leg Feliksas Mintauskas managed to avoid a goal in the 40thth minute, when UNITED's Donatas Girdauskas fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. 41 minutes into the game, Juozapas Alekveravičius was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Olimpo's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave UNITED the free kick. In the 41st match minute, Olimpo was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Juozapas Alekveravičius to maneuver through the defense. Ugnius Zybartas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Ugnius Zybartas to strike the kick off in the second half. After 54 minutes, Ugnius Zybartas made it 3-1 with a short kick to the right side. Olimpo's Feliksas Mintauskas tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Ugnius Zybartas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Feliksas Mintauskas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Feliksas Mintauskas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Donatas Girdauskas came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the UNITED fans jumped to their feet.

After 64 played minutes Olimpo got a freekick which was hit by Liutauras Jacinaitis. 69 minutes into the match, UNITED's Modestas Gasparaitis sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Feliksas Mintauskas narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

In the 73rd minute, Modestas Gasparaitis got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Modestas Misiūnas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Ignas Žukauskas scored 5-1 in the 83rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Feliksas Mintauskas, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
