Gromatas just couldn't get his shot past the visitors' right side defence after 29 minutes. 30 minutes into the game, A.

The crowd was on its feet 55 minutes into the match, as fontane's A. Gromatas found himself unmarked in front of the goal after a dash up the left side. He calmly put away the 2 - 2 equaliser. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave K. Vinčiauskas from pise a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 56 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, A. Wasserman got himself booked. The manager of pise was not happy. As usual, K. Vinčiauskas tried to use his strength and hard work for the benefit of the team, but the heat hit him hard and he couldn't keep pace at all. G.
