Urki started off with a 4-4-2 lineup.
The following players took the field: Rajanets - Ratnieks, Ābels, Dinvietis, Bārzdiņš - Nazarkin, Karakevych, Demants, Pelašķis - Pekšēns, Eglītis.
A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Breath.
Starters: Bril - Šteinbergs, Gaģis, Daudziņš, Ziņģis - Koptev, Višteliūnas, Goldšmits, Ķeiselis - Grokhotov, Kolganov.
Some quick footwork on the left side of the field 6 minutes into the match left Breath's
A. Šteinbergs completely free to score. 0 - 1 for the visitors.
11 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as
D. Višteliūnas finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick.
After 12 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed
B. Kolganov to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3.
A. Ķeiselis of Breath took advantage of a mistake on the home side's right after 15 minutes which increased the away team's lead to 0 - 4.
By now, the players in Breath felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward.
The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 4.
Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Breath, with 63 percent of the ball.
A. Ķeiselis increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5.
After 65 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
K. Daudziņš who increased Breath's lead to 0 - 6.
S. Demants of Urki was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle.
R. Goldšmits fired a shot from distance after 76 minutes, but the long shot couldn't find the net for Breath.
With 78 minutes played,
A. Karakevych of Urki fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving.
Breath increased their lead after 80 minutes when
E. Grokhotov broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 7, much to the home crowd's dismay.
The home crowd was not impressed when
O. Ziņģis came in from the right, shooting hard to score after 81 minutes. Breath were now up 0 - 8.
The referee showed Breath's
A. Ķeiselis the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge.
After 84 minutes, a deliberate handball from Urki's
S. Demants was judged to be his second bookable offence, and he was sent off.
Possession in this half belonged to Breath, who controlled the ball 72 percent of the time.
Urki's top performer was clearly
E. Dinvietis.
P. Rajanets turned in a dismal performance, however.
Breath's best player was
B. Kolganov.
On the other hand,
A. Bril's play was disheartening.
The match ends 0 - 8.
