The vice-champions of the country and the leaders of League A this season played 1: 1 with Panevėžys. Thus ended Sūduva’s series of three consecutive victories.
True, judging from the course of the match, even this result is not the worst for the people of Sūduva.
Although the visitors created more danger in the opposing goal in the first half, the hosts were the first to reach the goal.
Jorge Eliasas increased Hugo Figuerero’s lead to 3 – 0 with a header off a ball hooked from the right.

In the first half, Panevėžys could have doubled the result, but the ball hit by Jeffrey Sarpong hit the crossbar.
“Sūduvai” managed to equalize the result after the break. In the 73rd minute, Panevėžys goalkeeper Victoras Golasas blocked Olivier Rommens’ shot, but Giedrius Matulevičius was the first to jump on the ball and send it into goal.
For the rest of the time, there were still dangerous attacks on both goals, and Antonis Kapnidis, who escaped against Sūduva goalkeeper Ivan Kardum, had a particularly good chance in the 89th minute, but the Greek attempt was very unsuccessful. In added time, Semir Kerla was able to snatch the victory from the guests, but her attempt was also inaccurate and the match ended in a draw.
In the “Sūduva” ranks, Keisuke Honda, the loudest A-league buy of the year, played almost every game in this match. He was substituted in the 90th minute of the game when Victor Basadre released Serge Nyuiadzi onto the field.

Marijampolė players have 62 points after this match and are nine times ahead of Vilnius “Žalgiris”. It is true that the club from the capital has played three fewer games, so if they all win, the leaders of league A will have the same points each.
Panevėžys is fourth with 51 points and is just one point behind Kauno Žalgiris, who is in third place.
