The main time of the duel ended in a productive draw – 2: 2 (twenty-one).

Ernestas Veliulis (45 min. 11 min.) And Elivelto (49 min.) They responded to the double (32 and 37 min.) Of the Croatian forward Tomislav Kisz with accurate shots.

Already during the time compensated by the referee, 90 + 4 minutes, Sebastián Vásquez did not take advantage of the golden opportunity, jumping one by one, but without outwitting goalkeeper Edwin Gertmon.

However, in the 11-meter penalty shootout, E. Gertmon no longer managed to save Žalgiris’ skin. The heroic Rafael Broetto, who entered the field only at the end of the second half, defeated four of the six green and white shots and Panevėžys danced for joy. 3: 2.

This is the first Super Cup won in the history of Panevėžys.

The fight for the LFF Super Cup was supposed to take place on February 27, but then, after the teams registered positive cases of COVID-19, it was decided to postpone the confrontation. Both teams managed to play three games in the League A championship during that time.

The history of the LFF Super Cup in Lithuania dates back to 1995, when this trophy was won by the “Inkaras” footballers from Kaunas. It is true that the people of Kaunas did it without a battle: that season the Kaunas club won both the championship and the cup, so this trophy automatically belonged to them.

A year later, they had to compete for the title with Šiauliai “Kareda” and then the people of Šiauliai were stronger: they won the match 2: 1 and won the first Super Cup trophy in their history.

Subsequently, the Super Cup was played almost every year, with some exceptions: the title was not played and it did not qualify for any team in the 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2007, 2008 and 2012 seasons.

The order of the competition also changed: before, if the same team won the league and the championship, the Super Cup trophy was awarded without fighting.

Thus, the winners of the Super Cup were twice (in 2002 and 2004) FBK Kaunas, Panevėžys Ekranas won twice (in 2010 and 2011) and Vilnius Žalgiris (2014 and 2015) and once, the aforementioned Kaunas Inkaras (1995).

Later, after the regulation was changed, the LFF Super Cup was played even though the two main titles of the season were won by the same team, in which case the champions of League A played with the team that ranked second in the championship.

As for the most successful Super Cup teams of all time, “Žalgiris” is at the top of the list, having won the title 7 times.
