Petrelyay Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Ramūnas Macius showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nojus Kalvelis in the 3rd minute of the match. 13 minutes into the game, Vygantas Tarvydas was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC Mazeikiu ROMAR's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave 1990 Gargzdai the free kick. In the 17th minute, FC Mazeikiu ROMAR's Mindaugas Norutis dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. In the 22nd minute Vygandas Karvelis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ramūnas Macius saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With an all-out effort, FC Mazeikiu ROMAR's Germanas Vilkas threw himself towards the right post 29 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Mindaugas Norutis, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 32nd minute Merūnas Tiškevičius shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Germanas Vilkas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 36thth minute of the game Nojus Kalvelis who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Mazeikiu ROMAR's Ramūnas Macius was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Nojus Kalvelis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ramūnas Macius having to interfere. 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 players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Nojus Kalvelis stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 57th minute Vygandas Karvelis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ramūnas Macius saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Germanas Vilkas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Virginijus Rusteikis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The crowd rose to their feet as Nojus Kalvelis kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Ramūnas Macius. That made the score 1-3 in the 65 minute of play. In the 78th minute, Mindaugas Norutis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Nojus Kalvelis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 82nd minute, Stanislovas Girkantas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 83 minutes, Kristijonas Baracevičius managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Mazeikiu ROMAR's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kristijonas Baracevičius was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mindaugas Norutis in the 85th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Germanas Vilkas saved 1990 Gargzdai from getting behind. With a little luck, FC Mazeikiu ROMAR's Ramūnas Macius got control of the ball when Nojus Kalvelis tried to sneak it across the goal line. The supporters of 1990 Gargzdai booed when FC Mazeikiu ROMAR was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 89 match minutes in a wonderful position. Merūnas Tiškevičius didn't get a good kick on the ball. Merūnas Tiškevičius hit a great freekick 91 minutes into the match. Ramūnas Macius showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nojus Kalvelis, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. When the final whistle sounded 1990 Gargzdai left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than FC Mazeikiu ROMAR.
