In the first half, the blue and whites capitalized on two crude mistakes by the hosts. In the 19th minute, Vilius Armanavičius converted a penalty after Martynas Dapkus fouled Donatas Kazlauskas in the penalty area, and 4 minutes later, Wesley, completely free, directed the ball into the net.
FA “Šiauliai” created one slightly more threatening situation, but Davio Ikaunieks’ attempt was thwarted by Lukas Paukštė. After the break, Artiomas Baftalovskis could also have narrowed the score – the ball flew over the crossbar.
“Hegelmann” had a couple of situations where they could have capitalized on their chances, but they failed to score a third goal. From the 73rd minute, the visitors’ situation became even simpler, as a second yellow card was shown to Lazar Vuković.
