Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Dzidorius Petreikis took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 4th minute, Dzidorius Petreikis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 7 played minutes JUODOJI GVARDIJA got a freekick which was hit by Eligijus Marčiauskas. In the 9th minute, Dzidorius Petreikis made a precise shot to the right of Nerijus Dambys. JUODOJI GVARDIJA's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Petras Zurza hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. Jotautas Patamsis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 13th minute. Arunas Kruopas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nerijus Dambys took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dzidorius Petreikis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Dzidorius Petreikis in the 25th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Nerijus Dambys saved JUODOJI GVARDIJA from getting behind. The supporters of FC Trushen booed when JUODOJI GVARDIJA was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 29 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kristijonas Mašalas didn't get a good kick on the ball. Simonas Gitaitis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. FC Trushen's Mecislovas Buga suffered a concussion after 39 minutes and had to leave the field. After 39 minutes, Naglis Gudauskas mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the JUODOJI GVARDIJA and the FC Trushen players grew even worse after the yellow card. JUODOJI GVARDIJA's Nerijus Dambys played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Dzidorius Petreikis in the 43rd minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Emilis Merkelis made the kick off in the second half. Jotautas Patamsis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arunas Kruopas having to interfere. Jotautas Patamsis struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Arunas Kruopas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for JUODOJI GVARDIJA. In the 61st minute, Vytis Skroblas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Emilis Merkelis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. JUODOJI GVARDIJA's Nerijus Dambys proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 67th minute of the match, managed to save JUODOJI GVARDIJA from getting a goal against them. Emilis Merkelis struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Arunas Kruopas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for JUODOJI GVARDIJA. Albertas Garbužas hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. Nerijus Dambys came out of the goal in the 79th minute to try and stop a shot by FC Trushen's Simonas Gitaitis. But to his dismay, Simonas Gitaitis quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. The JUODOJI GVARDIJA fans' excitement grew in the 89th match minute when JUODOJI GVARDIJA's Emilis Merkelis looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 2-3 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Simonas Gitaitis was extremely unlucky when he, in the 96th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out.
