The match began with the home team, Žalgiris, demonstrating a stronger presence on the field, but several opportunities were neutralized by offside calls. The first goal came in the 24th minute when Marius Paukštė, the goalkeeper for Džiugas, committed a foul in the penalty area against Liviu Antal, who successfully converted the penalty to put Džiugas ahead 1-0. However, the momentum shifted when, just before halftime, Denis Bunčiukovas equalized for Žalgiris in the 40th minute with a precise strike after receiving a pass from the left side of the field.

As the second half unfolded, Žalgiris showed determination and nearly scored from a long-range effort by Saba Mamacaşvili, which hit the crossbar. Ultimately, in the 79th minute, Žalgiris took the lead when Nikolai Petkovičius scored after a rebound from Giedrius Matulevičius's attempt. The match's climax occurred in the 89th minute when Ibrahimas Cisse stepped up for a penalty kick, initially missing but managing to redirect the ball to secure a goal, showcasing the high stakes and intense atmosphere of the game as the final whistle approached.
