Spectators: 7468 (Terracing: 5602, Seating: 1717, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Deimantas Valys started the match with the kick off. Romualdas Karalius showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tobias Argider in the 4th minute of the match. Rodrigo Ursino fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Romualdas Karalius having to interfere. A collision led to Deportivo Kadorna getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Tobias Argider hit a great ball. Jogaila Jameikis took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 16th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Silvio Prejun. Deportivo Kadorna's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. In the 20th minute Deimantas Valys shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Silvio Prejun saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

The Deportivo Kadorna fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1.

With an all-out effort, Deportivo Kadorna's Romualdas Karalius threw himself towards the right post 52 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Rodrigo Ursino, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 59 minutes into the match, Geležinis Vilkas's goalkeeper Romualdas Karalius had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Nereo Rexino. Tauras Bagūnas scored 3-2 in the 61st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Silvio Prejun, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Deportivo Kadorna's Silvio Prejun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Valentas Bizauskas in the 71st minute of play. In the 75th minute, Deportivo Kadorna's Rodrigo Ursino dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 3-4. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rodrigo Ursino in the 81st minute of play forced Geležinis Vilkas's goalkeeper Romualdas Karalius to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 81 minutes, Rimas Labutis mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Geležinis Vilkas and the Deportivo Kadorna players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 81st minute, Rimas Labutis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 82 played minutes, Deportivo Kadorna's Celso Eliu shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Romualdas Karalius 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 Deportivo Kadorna reached it. Nereo Rexino struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Romualdas Karalius didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Deportivo Kadorna. Romualdas Karalius was out of position in the 88 minute of play, and Tobias Argider capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Tobias Argider really showed his touch with that goal: 3-5. 92 minutes into the match, Deportivo Kadorna's goal looked a bit too open when Deimantas Valys came free, but Silvio Prejun reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Romualdas Karalius made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mateo Mino in the 94th minute. Deportivo Kadorna's Wilfredo Nisio got a good chance for a goal in the 95th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
