In this match, Urartu FC faced staffing problems. Ugochukwu Iwu, Vadym Paramonov, Peter Mutumosi and Annan Mensah were absent due to injuries.

Igor Paderin was especially active, creating a lot of problems for the opponent's defenders. There were no goals in the first half, instead, at the very beginning of the second half, the players of Urartu FC were able to open the score, as a result of a quick counterattack, Evgenii Kobzar brought Igor Paderin to a shot position, who first misled the opponent's defenders, and then scored: 1-0.
