Possession of the ball saw an equal split between the teams during the forty-five minutes.

60 minutes of the match played, and a comedy of errors by the home side gave the visitors a chance at the lead, but A. Pīle, after finding himself dashing down on goal from the left with only the keeper to beat, sliced his shot horribly wide. Making his way up the middle 71 minutes into the match, R. Ziberkas almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert R. Skuju blocked it to keep the score level. J. Vītoliņš was the first to reach the corner kick, but his header was blocked by the keeper. However, Death_rabbits's D. Kuzņecovs managed to get hold of the rebound and tucked the ball into the empty net. 2 - 3 After 78 minutes, A. Stani got through on the right and was very close to equalising for the home side, but didn't get the shot away. Kings enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 51 percent of possession.

Kings's best player was R. Ziberkas. On the other hand, E. Savickis's play was disheartening. D. Gustiņš performed admirably for Death_rabbits. However, M. Safronau made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 2 - 3.
