Given the COVID-19 situation in the country and in certain regions, the final match was held with spectator restrictions. The Panevėžys Aukštaitija stadium has a capacity of 6,600 spectators, but it was decided to admit up to 1,000 fans to the stadium.

Both goals were scored in the first half of the match. Initially, in the 23rd minute, Panevėžys was overtaken by Ernestas Veliulis, who had escaped in a quick attack, but already in the 26th minute, T. Eliošius dropped V. Slavickas in the penalty area, and Oliveira Renanas made a series of penalties of 11 meters.

No more goals were scored, so the teams beat a series of penalties. Even 8 shots in a row were successful, and then “Panevėžys” goalkeeper R. Broetto shone, blocking A. Zivanovičius’ shot to the right corner of the goal.

S. Vasquez, who was right and presented Panevėžys with a historic trophy, beat the decisive penalty in the ranks of “Panevėžys”.

Sūduva, who won the cup last year, jumped over the Vilnius Žalgiris barrier in this year’s semi-finals, and Penevėžys players, seeking the first such trophy, climbed to the final by crushing Vilnius Knights.
