Balbesai 2 - 0 incorporated (383715822)

40063 spectators had come to Samsung Arena this cloudy day. Kārlis Zvārgulis was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Mika Wiblom and Marc-Marie de Vocht. Fans of both teams had been eagerly awaiting this Vilnius derby and were doing their best to outshout their opponents. Balbesai had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Cantoni - Di Caro, Sówka, Bloming - Unspund, Gobbi, Kuliešovas, Zizas, Pyörret - Seelbach, Gusev.

A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for incorporated. They fielded: Amsalem - Torquemada, Läfvenbratt, Yordanov - Meldys, Petrişor, Zdravković, Nalpantis, Moriakinas - Agronomenko, Pons.

Y. Nalpantis of incorporated was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. J. Seelbach gave Balbesai the lead as he successfully challenged the guests' central defenders, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner, giving the keeper no chance. 1 - 0 After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, G. Läfvenbratt got himself booked. The manager of incorporated was not happy. With 32 minutes played, C. Gobbi of Balbesai fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. It was 1 - 0 at the break. Balbesai enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

A great save by keeper R. Amsalem after 51 minutes kept the visitors in the game after C. Gobbi struck from the left with a real cannonball. Balbesai's G. Di Caro swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Balbesai's N. Gusev increased the lead to 2 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 71 minutes. Balbesai's S. Kuliešovas had an excellent opportunity after 73 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles! Balbesai had most of the ball, with 53 percent of possession.

N. Gusev performed admirably for Balbesai. However, M. Pyörret made a disastrous appearance. Most important incorporated player was Y. Nalpantis. J. Moriakinas was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 0.
