From the beginning, the Lithuanian Simas Bertašius took over the leadership. The pace was not particularly high, however, the first two laps were covered in about 60 seconds each. The field stayed together accordingly. Shortly before the end of the second round, all three Ingebrigtsen brothers oriented themselves forward, Jakob replaced the Lithuanian at the top, his two brothers followed him, and the German Homiyu Tesfaye came fourth. The field was broadly fanned out when the last lap started, everyone was looking for a good starting position for the final sprint. The outcome of the race was still completely open in the finish curve. On the home stretch, 17-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who was still leading, pulled away and seemed to be running towards victory. But it got tight again. Lewandowski and the Briton Jake Wightman stormed up from behind and came threateningly close to the Norwegian. But this saved himself to the finish and became the new European champion. Marcin Lewandowski won the silver medal just four hundredths of a second behind him. Jake Wightman finished third ahead of the 2012 European Champion Henrik Ingebrigtsen. Briton Charlie Grice and Simas Bertašius finished fifth and sixth. The German Timo Benitz was seventh ahead of the Belgian Ismael Debjani.
