After a moment, Elivelto threatened Kaunas’s goal with a free kick, but the ball hit by Panevėžys’s player flew close to the opposing goal.
In the 13th minute of the match, FK Panevėžys took the lead. Jeffrey Sarpongas, who was about to attack after a great pass from Pius Širvis, confused the visiting defenders and sent the ball into Kaunas’ goal from outside the penalty area.
As the quarter drew to a close, Kaunas residents became more active. In the 39th minute of the match, Danas Šimkevičius, the Panevėžys goalkeeper, showed his mastery by successfully blocking the ball hit by a strong player from the opposing team. After three minutes, D. Šimkevičius returned to play reliably, directing Grato Sirgėdas’s shot to the corner.

The guests started the second half more actively, but the people of Panevėžys defended successfully. In the 58th minute of the match, Matheusas Bissi hit hard and accurately from distance, but Kauno Žalgiris goalkeeper D. Mikelionis was able to defend his strength.
In the 70th minute of the match, after a long free kick by D. Sirgėdas, D. Šimkevičius, who showed another excellent reaction, saved his team.
Towards the end of the match, the ball was under the control of Kaunas, who did his best to equalize the result.
The people of Panevėžys not only managed to maintain their advantage, but also increased it. Ignas Kružikas appeared just in time near the post and led him past the goalkeeper.
