In the first half, “Sūduva” was put in an awkward position by unprotected defender Ivan Hladik and goalkeeper Ivan Kardumas, who allowed Brazilian forward Rangelis to score the first goal.
“We must not make such mistakes. Until then, the Finns had not created anything special, and then in our team, although she experienced it, there was a bit of panic. Later, no team had a special advantage, we were able to score a tie after the very grateful opportunities from Josipas Tadic and Deividas Matulevičius, ”commented S. Širmelis.
The hosts increased the lead when Latvian Igor Tarasov scored from the corner.
S. Širmelis was also caught in one episode when the fumbled opponent chased Semir Kerl for a long time and finally corrected his mistake while skating.
“In the situation of the second goal, his task worked: very good pass, I. Tarasov revealed well.
I think the Finns put more heart into this match, fighting until the last minute. This shows that they were really strong. This is the style of the Finnish league, everyone here fights to the end against the same KuPS. “KuPS continues to win, they have the necessary character, which develops in such a match,” said S. Širmelis.
He did not want to criticize his students and took full responsibility for the failure himself.
Admittedly, the 64-year-old has expressed dissatisfaction with UEFA’s decision to allow three substitutions in regulation time in the European Cup qualifiers.
UEFA itself ruled on Thursday to maintain an update to the rule based on the five-change pandemic in the main Champions League and European League tournaments.
“It just came to our attention then. After all, the virus has not gone away, the pandemic is only growing. It is about the health of the players when there are a lot of games accumulated due to disorderly schedules. For us, three changes in a match like this did not favor us. In the next League A match with Vilnius Knights, we will use all five substitutions, “said S. Širmelis.
Previously, Marijampolė’s team marched in the Champions League team, where they eliminated Flora from Tallinn (Estonia), but lost to Maccabi from Tel Aviv (Israel).
For the past three seasons in a row, Sūduvai has managed to reach the final fourth leg of the European League Playoffs.
