Given the COVID-19 situation in the country and in certain regions, the next final match will be held with spectator restrictions. The Panevėžys Aukštaitija stadium has a capacity of 6,600 spectators, but it was decided to admit up to 1,000 fans to the stadium.
Marijampolė’s “Sūduva”, which is exactly one week away from League A’s decisive battle with Vilnius “Žalgiris”, enters the LFF Hegelmann Cup final for the second year in a row.
Last year, it was the Suvalk people who raised the winner’s cup to the top, when in the final 4: 0 match the Gargždai “Banga” footballers, who were playing in the first league at the time, did not forgive.
Sūduva strategist Saulius Širmelis emphasized the importance of the next two matches, but immediately emphasized that the focus is now on the cup final.

“Sūduvai has no other tasks, only to win this final and defend the title of the country’s champion in the match with” Žalgiris “. Clearly, the focus is now on the LFF Hegelmann Cup final, with nothing to think about in two matches. at the same time. Now we focus on the cup final, followed by the next steps. But the team wants to win the next two matches, “said S. Širmelis.
Panevėžys, who is at the bottom of the league A standings, was a welcome surprise at this year’s cup tournament, and his strategist Joao Martins watched the final with great enthusiasm.
“First of all, we are proud to be in the final, we are proud of this achievement and we want to enjoy this moment. We deserve to be here. To this day, the mere entry into the Hegelmann LFF Cup semi-final was a historic event for the club, entry into the final is also a historic event and it is understandable that we want to go even further.

| A.Švrljuga struck the edge of the replacement bench with his fist. For Croatia, the match ended in the first half due to injury, but their hot blood and great desire for “Sūduvai” would be much needed on the field now. |
78 min. Curious situation, almost no goal. T.Salamono’s unpredictable shot transmission trajectory almost found himself in the net of the goal, but R.Broetto managed to hit the ball on the edge.
72 min. It’s fun to see those people from Panevėžys. As the half moves to the other side, it could turn out that both teams are already beginning to think about an extension, but the field hosts are still very active.

| If there was that serious conversation that I predicted, it wouldn’t bear fruit. “Sūduva”, although it should be the final favorite, so far seems to be completely immersed in the attack. True, at least the defense so far without more serious errors. For all this, it is necessary to put a hat on the team Panevėžys, who look perfectly prepared for a fight that could give way to the team of the Europa League next season. |
61 min. J.Tadičius sends the ball to the opposite goal, but is sidelined. However, Rafael Broetto saves the hosts from a difficult situation a moment ago, it is a sign that a moment cannot be missed in the final of concentration.
59 min. Oliveira also leaves the teeth after biting the square. This also does not appear to be a tactical change. He is replaced by Thomas Solomon.
52 min. After the break, both teams go back to playing more careful football; dangerous occasions have not yet been recorded.
After the first half: “Panevėžys” – Marijampolė “Sūduva” – 1: 1
One half with very different sides. It is in the second half that the open football shown by both teams gives a very positive second part of the game, and now a break.

Mantas Krasnickas, 15-minute journalist in Panevėžys |
| A deep sigh in the stadium after a dangerous blow to the goal of Marijampolė, but so far Panevėžys, waiting for the triumph of his team, should be satisfied: his team creates more efficiently and, if we forget that foul in the penalty area , defend more reliably. And S. Širmelis sighed deeply several times and waved his hand after the serious mistakes of his defenders. During the break, serious conversation must wait in Sūduva’s dressing room. |
44 min. D. Matulevičius misleads the opposing footballers in the penalty area, but the forward lacks reinforcement: in the end, his shot is blocked.
40 min. Another big handover from the hosts to E. Veliulis, who started from the bottom forward, is blocked by the defender from “Sūduva”.
Soon enough, Panevėžys defender Matheusas Bissi threatens the opponents’ goal with a shot, but the ball flies close to the goal.
32 min. The people of Panevėžys do not retreat anywhere and stage another threatening attack, but the guest problems do not end there: Andro Švrljuga, who is being replaced by Jevgenas Jefremovas, needs a forced change.

| Two goals in a few minutes at Panevėžys! The passions are hot, the atmosphere here grows stronger. It is symbolic that E.Veliulis, who had previously played almost 100 matches for the Marijampolė team, scored for “Sūduva’s” goal. |
26 min. OBJECTIVE. The depressing first 20 minutes quickly fade in the face of an impressive stretch of the last minutes. Vaidas Slavickas is not pushed back in the penalty area according to the rules, and Renan Oliveira soon realizes the 11-meter penalty – eleven
23 min. OBJECTIVE. Opapa! Here’s the allure of a match! Ernestas Veliulis, who ran forward, skillfully overtakes the rival goalkeeper and overtakes the locals with a weak but very precise shot to the far corner of the goal. 1: 0.

| Soccer is prudent so far. In the first 15 minutes, neither team has had a real chance to score yet, although “Sūduva” has already raised three corners. We all know very well how expensive standard situations can cost for the final hosts. |
14 min. Lukas Čerkauskas, who broke illegally on Giedrius Matulevičius’ fast attack, receives a yellow card.
11 min. If Panevėžys leads from the side, Sūduva from the corner, who has already gone up by three. Still, the hosts are exemplary clearing their penalty area.
9 min. The people of Panevysžys are not going to fight every match and so far they walk bravely towards the opposing goal. It is true that both raids by the hosts were stopped by a flag raised by the judge – the side lines were searched.
6 min. The first corner at the door of the hosts, but nothing dangerous can be created for the guests of Marijampolė.

| Well, the final has already started and only 1,000 people can see it in the stadium; the maximum number has been reduced due to the COVID-19 situation in Lithuania. It is true that the spectators do not seem to keep their distance in the stands. |
The duel will start at 14:30 and the best impressions of the Panevėžys Aukštaitija stadium will be shared. 15 minutes sports journalist Mantas Krasnickas.

| No matter how much I would like to give you as many impressions of Panevėžys as possible, it may not last long, because the LFF representatives have decided that journalists will not need electrical outlets in the workplace. Strange. |

Mantas Krasnickas, 15-minute journalist in Panevėžys |
| Hello football fans, congratulations from Panevėžys, where today is a football festival. Panevėžys and Marijampolė Sūduva fight for the LFF Cup. Let’s take a look at the composition of the teams. Thus, Saulius Širmelis has only launched one forward, Josipas Tadic, and Mihretas Topčagičius and Eligijus Jankauskas are not even on the bench. Where are they? I don’t know, so if the Lithuanian champions have to beat them, serious problems could arise. There are no surprises in the army aligned by Joao Martins, the composition seems optimal, which the Portuguese most often rely on. |
