The Optibet A League winning streak to two was extended by Panevėžys, who has ambitious goals.
In the 2nd round home match, the Aukštaitija capital team broke Telšiai’s “Džiuga”, who looked solid in defense, after a very persistent 1: 0 (0: 0) home fight.
In the first half, Panevėžys had a clear advantage on the ball but did not turn it into a dangerous attack.
The most dangerous situation during the standard situation was created by the patient defense “Džiugas”: the strong shot from Tomas Rapalavičius hit the crossbar. 17-year-old goalkeeper Danas Šimkevičius, who made his Panevėžys debut, did not get a chance to help the team.
After the break, the view on the square did not change: Panevėžys attacks used to fade with confidence and the guests roared again: Roko Stanulevičius’s ball hit him from distance with a powerful shot.
Boss “Džiugo” Coach Marius Šlutas had to make a forced substitution when T. Rapalavičius left the field after a head-on collision with Elivelto.
The end of the duel for the almost flawless Telšiai club was unsuccessful. Goalkeeper Marius Paukštė recklessly left the goal and committed a foul, and Ernestas Veliulis noticed the penalty and snatched the victory from his team.
