Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Kryspin Jaktorowo fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aldas Saulis having to interfere. Walery Kolano made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Deimantas Valys in the 11th minute of play. 18 minutes into the match, Żuberia United's goal looked a bit too open when Deimantas Valys came free, but Walery Kolano reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The tension between the Żuberia United and the Geležinis Vilkas players grew even worse after the yellow card.
