During the first 20 minutes, scouting prevailed on the field – only the Kaunas counterattack could be singled out. Jonathan Tamimi passed the ball to Davide Naah, who fired a shot into the center of the goal without causing much trouble to goalkeeper Mantas Bertaši.
In the 27th minute, there was a complete misunderstanding in the Kaunas penalty area and a series of mistakes by the defender Maxime Span Rahou – the Algerian initially carelessly passed the ball to the goalkeeper, a few moments later he gave it to the opponent, who hit the post, and the ball bounced off the goal structure and hit M. Spano Rahou and ran into the goal.
Five minutes later, Žalgiris responded with a strange goal – Oyinlola Kayode made a great pass to Žan Benedićičius, the latter hit the post, and this time the ball successfully bounced to Filipas Dangubičius, who sent the ball into the goal net from a very close range.
At the very end of the first half, Deividas Mikelionis was forced to save Kaunas after a Davydas Norvilas kick.
The visitors started the second part of the meeting more actively – F. Dangubičius passed the ball to Fedor Černyhs, who appeared on the field after the substitution, and the striker dangerously shot into the near upper corner of the goal, but M. Bertašius saved the team.
In the middle of the half, M. Spano Rahou gave another gift to the rivals. The midfielder once again made a mistake in the penalty area and gifted the ball to Pijus Srebalis, but D. Mikelionis put out the fire near the goal. A few minutes later, Konstantinas Šulcas also made a dangerous shot at the visitors’ goal.
At the very end of the match, the Kaunas finished the match in ten – Edvinas Kloniūnas was removed from the field for the second yellow card.
Having won a point, “Banga” from Gargžda jumped to the 6th place with 28 points, while “Kaunas Žalgiris” remained third with 38 points.
