A corner kick created a huge mess in the penalty area with a goal almost scored by Povilo Leimono. 68 minutes after the game, Marijampoliekis scored from the penalty spot.
“Of course, nothing can be better than 3 points in our situation. I want to thank the men who left the room to the plaza. As in Sunday’s league, S. Širmelis said. – The other young men were preparing, I want to thank you for helping to make the workouts worthwhile for those who were able to train. I’m not even talking about quarantined positions … I also want to thank the club’s management, who made a great effort to get the players to come. When are those five. There was a lot of work to be done, to overcome bureaucratic thresholds.
It may not be worth talking about any quality right now. There is a class of players, she had to help today. Class and mentality of the winners. Those who were preparing do not realize that it could be different here at home. I really liked that. “
In choosing the starting lineup, the coach undoubtedly included the four legionaries who were to be quarantined, and released another after the change.
But the other plan was less attractive.
“Plan B is to play with the guys who played in League II last year (third in capacity). There would have been about five in the square. And in League II, they didn’t topple the mountains, to put it mildly. What would have been been then? There is no doubt when we find out who will be able to play, “said the Sūduva strategist.

The coach mentioned that Austrians Daniel Offenbacher and Thomas Salamon had arrived in Lithuania today.
According to S.Širmelis, Valerijus Šabala, who joined the team during quarantine, is not yet ready to enter the square.
“The most important thing for him is to recover both physically and psychologically. As far as I remember him in Latvia, he was already the leader of the national team at a young age. I want him and here to enter at least the minimum form as soon as possible. It will take time “The coach admitted.
S. Širmelis was pleased that the spectators can re-enter the stadiums, so far there are only 300 in its stands. The coach also remembered his grandson’s words, which stuck to him.
“People crave soccer, like any event or show. Not at all without those viewers. I can say a witty thought about my grandson as a child. In England, we watched a match in Birmingham one day, after which I returned home and joined Lithuanian football. That rostrum showed (points the finger), if I’m not mistaken, only “Sūduva”. My grandson asked what kind of championship was happening here, I replied that Lithuanian. He says, “And are the viewers out already?” Here is the bright idea of the child. He lives in England and does not understand that football can be played without spectators.
I hope there are more of them here too. Suwalki people like football, the club president mentioned that today, if there was a free entry, it would have been 2000. As for Lithuania, not bad, I think, ”said S. Širmelis.

And yet, not everything was enjoyed by an experienced coach on Monday night. He was trapped on a battlefield where players from both teams stayed.
The fiercest fight arose when Yuri Bushman committed a serious offense against Povil Leimon. Marijampolietis did not remain in debt and fed the opponent with a shot. Mihretas Topčagičius came in to replace him and explained the relationship with Rudinilson, who had played more or less several times.
On the non-sport battlefield, M. Topčagičius received a red card, P. Leimonas, J. Bušmanas and Rudinilsonas saw a yellow card in front of him.
“There should be no such episodes,” said S. Širmelis. – I will talk about my players who did what should not be done. Topčagičius … An experienced player, this is the first time in my career that a player who has risen from a bench, already replaced, would have done something like this. I need to talk. Here’s the bar to keep an eye on what you didn’t know. Let’s talk, let’s explain.
How to evaluate? Clearly, there should be no such things. The opponents didn’t play ballet either, but the answer must be one: if the second half is that goal (point the finger). Score a goal there, here is the answer. There is no other. “
Opponents also played non-ballet
Before this episode, the “Sūduva” coach had to replace Gleb Kuškinas, who was stopped by Simonas Urbys. True, according to S. Širmelis, the Latvian newcomer avoided extremely serious injuries.
“Kaunas Žalgiris” coach Rokas Garastas did not hide his resentment because he was unable to earn points at Marijampolė.

“It just came to our attention then. We knew there was a strong team ahead, a challenge for the champions. When the game ended, I thought we could at least take a point. We didn’t face the work in the penalty area and we didn’t get to that point, “said the Kaunas coach, who is twice as young as his rival S. Širmelis.
He evaluated the outbursts of passion criticized by S. Širmelis more cautiously.
“I think everyone who comes back after quarantine wants to win, everyone plays with energy, with anger. Some of those moments, actions provoke such reactions. Perhaps some react too hot. There have been many such situations today. I think these are sports situations, only some of them overreact, “said R. Garastas.
