Justina Miknaitė established an early scoring rhythm for the Lithuanian team, securing the initial four points through successful long-range throws. As the game progressed, the score saw Azerbaijan take a brief lead, making the mid-game result 8:7 in their favor. The contest remained closely contested, reaching a tie of 10:10 after the completion of two minutes of play.
At that point, both competing teams had accumulated six fouls. The momentum shifted following a penalty awarded to Lithuania. Just one minute after Giedrė Labuckienė successfully converted her penalty shot, the Lithuanian side established a slight advantage, leading 11:10.
With time rapidly dwindling, and only 15 seconds remaining, the match reached its climax. Azerbaijan attempted to draw a foul during the ensuing throw, which resulted in a penalty opportunity for Brianna Fraser. However, the final moments were decided by the outcome of the penalty sequence.
Fraser was required to take two penalty throws, but she was only successful on one of the two attempts. This final sequence prevented a definitive winner, leading to the ultimate result of the match being a decision to play through extra time.
