The second legs were played on April 14, 2010. Second semifinal game in Marijampolė between FK Vėtra and FK Sūduva ended in some controversy. While full-time ended in a draw, during added time each team scored a goal. After the final whistle FK Vėtras players left the field thinking that the game ended in their victory on the away goal rule. But since in LFF Cup the away goal rule does not apply for goals scored during the added time, FK Vėtra premature celebrations were stopped by the referee and players had to return to the field for a penalty shootout which was won by FK Vėtra nonetheless.http://www.delfi.lt/news/sport/abroad/lff-taures-turnyro-finale--ekranas-ir-vetra.d?id=31082489 LFF taurės turnyro finale – "Ekranas" ir "Vėtra" Kaunas 1–4 Ekranas Panevėžys 1–2 0–2 Vėtra Vilnius 3–3(p) 4–2 Sūduva Marijampolė 1–1 2–2 (aet) |} Final The final is to be held at the S.
