Surprise. Vilnius “Žalgiris”, who scored 7 goals in the capital derby, did not score in the last match: Gargždai “Banga” resisted and ended the duel with the result 0: 0.
The last time the Gargždis team took away their points from Žalgiris in league A was on November 2, 2013, then the match ended in a 1: 1 draw.
Disputes The decision of the referee for the match between Žalgiris and Banga, Manfred Lukjančukas, to cancel the penalty imposed at the end of the duel was highly controversial. Seeing a violation of Robertas Vėževičius’s rules against Saulius Mikoliūnas in the penalty area, M. Lukjančukas pointed to the 11-meter mark, but soon, after consulting with the assistant, he changed his decision.
The Gargždai club resisted, missed the goal for the third time this season and continues to rank fourth in the tournament table.
Be behind. Žalgiris, who has won only once in the last four matches, lags even further behind Sūduva from Marijampolė after the eighth round. The champions are now 8 points apart, but on July 12, both championship leaders will fight in Vilnius.
To form. Recently, midfielder Linas Pilibaitis has been playing well for the Kaunas Žalgiris team. The 35-year veteran has scored up to 3 goals in the last four games and is among the top five productive players.
It was the precise shots of L. Pilibaitis and Emmanuelis David that helped beat Panevėžys 2-0. The fourth victory allowed Kaunas residents to further strengthen their position in the first three.
Return. Shortly after the defeat, Panevėžys introduced Kauno Žalgiris, who was sixth this season, to a new strategist: Joao Martins, who replaced temporary coach Dainius Gleveckas.
Portugal is well known to football fans in our country. Last year Kaunas Stumbras, directed by J. Martins, surprised with excellent results. the coach ended up in Žalgiris, with whom he won silver.
Surprises Vaidas Sabaliauskas, the temporary strategist at Vilnius Knights, made a couple of unexpected decisions when choosing the lineup for the match with Sūduva. V. Sabaliauskas included Rokas Masenzovas, who has not played in league A this season, and forward Gytis Paulauskas, who was still playing in the First League last year, in the starting eleven.
However, this did not save the Knights from another failure: after a persistent fight, they lost 0: 1.
Transmission. Another victory for Sūduvai was guaranteed by Semiro Kerlos’ impressive goal: the forward midfielder disarmed Tadas Simaitis once again this season with a long shot.
Interestingly, the Bosnian was assisted by none other than goalkeeper Ivan Kardumas, who threw the ball away from the goal. It was Croatia’s first effective transfer in 4.5 seasons in League A.
Cup. Starting this week, six League A clubs will start fighting for this year’s next trophy, the Hegelmann LFF Cup. The first match of the eighth final will be played by “Žalgiris”, who will face the FA local team “Šiauliai” in Šiauliai on July 7.
