The opening period saw a significant shift in momentum for Šiauliai. Early in the match, Arvydas Novikovas initiated the play with a touch, passing the ball to Artiomas Baftalovskis. Baftalovskis subsequently directed the ball toward the near post, scoring in the 32nd minute after the opposition appeared momentarily disorganized.
The period concluded with the visiting team successfully equalizing the score. The second half began with action in the 44th minute when Hideyasu Tanaka received a precise pass. Finding himself in a one-on-one situation against Gustas Balutavičius, Tanaka managed to pass the ball over the defender and score.
Shortly after, A. Novikov attempted a try, fooling Dominykas Barauskas, but the shot fell just short of the goal. The passage was marked by a notable effort from Mariaus Stankevičiaus’s team, who maintained momentum heading into the second half.
Ikeras Bilbao took a shot from distance, which was blocked by G. Baliutavičius. The ball was then returned by Stefanas Miloševičius, setting up H.
Tanaka, who scored his second goal in the 47th minute.
