The Hegelmann Litauen team from the Kaunas district is becoming an increasingly powerful force in the Optibet A League: the championship debutants have deservedly finished the series of leaders’ victories.
In the round 25 showdown, the Kaunas district team broke the leader Marijampolė “Sūduva” 2: 1 (0: 0).
Many memorable episodes did not happen in the first half: Romainas Habranas was forced to leave the field due to injury, and Nicolas Gorobsov’s free kick was blocked by Ignas Plūkas, who was invited to the Lithuanian team.
The game was characterized by tough play and many physical challenges on the wet field, but Hegelmann Litauen showed great heart and had a good game. In the 73rd minute, the guests went ahead: after a grateful rebound, the ball rebounded gratefully towards Vilius Armanavičius, who seized his opportunity.
The home team fought their way through the middle and almost got a back when Jordan N’Kololo tried to sneak the ball over the goalkeeper. Sūduva was soon punished.
After a quick attack and a pass from Klaudijus Upst down the right wing, Nauris Petkevičius broke the silence of the month and after a month off he was happy with his twelfth goal this season.
The hosts were still in a decisive round, but too late. In the fourth minute of added time, J. N’Kololo smoothed the score with an impressive acrobatic shot and that was all the championship leaders managed.
“Sūduva” has 52 points after 25 games, and the Kaunas district team with 42 points is in fifth place, but has moved closer to the competitors in the fight for places in the first quarter.
