Soon, Rimantė Jonušaitė caused the error of the Latvian defenders, after which the judge imposed a sanction. Liucija Vaitukaitytė doubled our lead with a well-aimed shot.
Midway through the quarter, the Latvians tried to organize their attacks, but they did not cause any problems for the team led by Rimantas Viktoravičius. The Lithuanians did not slow down in attack: L.Vaitukaitytė hit twice near the goal, and in the 32nd minute R.Jonušaitė almost took advantage of the Latvian goalkeeper’s serious mistake.
In the 37th minute, after another great corner kick, our defensive line stopped the goalkeeper to take the lead, but Algimantė Mikutaitė shot wide on goal. At the end of time, the Lithuanian team continued to destroy the opponents’ defense: R. Jonušaitė struck twice and A. Mikutaitė’s shot shook the gate structure.
A great mood also prevailed in the second half at the Jonava Stadium. In the 52nd minute, after the combination, the Latvian defense was undone and Liucija Vaitukaitytė scored his second goal.
