A.Kniubaitė, who played perfectly at the end of the match, put the team ahead again with a well-aimed shot (22:21), but then Kamilė Bušaitė already compared the result. Žalgiris’s last attack ended with an inaccurate shot and Garliava’s handballers had almost half a minute to respond.
In the last seconds of the match, the ball fell into the hands of K.Bušaitė and snatched the victory from his team with a precise shot – 23:22.

Today, a great desire to win and a determined victory, a lot of desire to keep the title. At the end of the game, we fixed ourselves and gave all our strength. It was tough after yesterday’s semi-finals, but we did it.
Clearly, there was a huge lack of support from our own fans, but we hope things will be different next year. We have already adapted in part, but they are still missing. We can only promise that we will try to deal with less drama and win the champion title, ”said K.Bušaitė.
