After having played for 7 minutes, Jarmo Virkus managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Viplala's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jarmo Virkus was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Arto Nuga took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Danylo Biloshapka, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 16 minutes into the game, Samuel Tamberg was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC Viplala's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Vershina ESPN the free kick. After 16 played minutes FC Viplala got a freekick which was hit by Samuel Tamberg. FC Viplala's Arto Nuga played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Anatoliy Mintenko in the 20th minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Anton Pavlenko got free with Arto Nuga in the 21st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 25th minute Anton Pavlenko shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arto Nuga saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

After a rather tough play, FC Vershina ESPN's Kyrylo Krohmal got a free kick in the 44th minute. After 45 played minutes, FC Viplala's Kaido Lubi shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Artem Gordya came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in FC Viplala reached it. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.
When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Anatoliy Mintenko made a kick off.

FC Viplala's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Anatoliy Mintenko was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. If Jarmo Virkus had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 59th minute, Ostap Prodan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kaido Lubi struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Artem Gordya didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Viplala. After 64 minutes of play, FC Vershina ESPN's Anatoliy Mintenko made it 5-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Arto Nuga was left in no man's land by his defense there! 71 minutes into the match, FC Viplala's goal looked a bit too open when Anatoliy Mintenko came free, but Arto Nuga reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
