Clear skies welcomed the 203 spectators who had made their way to Sūduvos stadionas. Manuele Bertolè was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Jörg Ludwigslust and Grigorios Argitakos. A 5-4-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Sūdūva. Lineup: Kratauskas - Razvadauskas, Jefferson, Repollés, Gasis, Marašinskas - Mocijūnas, Olmeda, Matiušonokas, Arabadzhiev - Huotari.

MMBarcelona tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. Starters: Aužbikavičius - Vikulovas, Árpa, Göggerle-Deffner - Inausti, Loder, Månsson, Silva Lima - Zarzosa, Facchini, Hirth.

It was an obvious ambition of MMBarcelona to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. They were singing the praises of J. Huotari 27 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to Sūdūva. E. Matiušonokas increased the lead for Sūdūva to 2 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! 34 minutes in, Sūdūva's A. Repollés received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 0. Sūdūva had most of the ball, with 56 percent of possession.

53 minutes into the match, MMBarcelona replied and reduced the lead to 2 - 1. P. Zarzosa scored on a marvellous cross pass coming in from the left. Sūdūva increased the lead as C. Jefferson struck to make the score 3 - 1 after an attack from the left left him unmarked in front of the keeper. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Sūdūva, with 56 percent of the ball.

Sūdūva's top performer was clearly E. Mocijūnas. U. Razvadauskas was a disappointment, however. V. Hirth performed admirably for MMBarcelona. P. Facchini on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 1.
