The missed goals at the beginning and end of the match left Lithuanian football without the victories of the most important team in the official competition.

Since October 2016, when they beat Malta 2-0, Lithuania has not won the match.

This time, the team that ranked 118th in the FIFA rankings got lost in an empty stadium.

We will add …

The Lithuanians had the advantage of the field, only it was conditional due to the pandemic: according to UEFA rules, the match is played without spectators.

In addition, the Lithuanian national team faced the showdown without their leader Arvydas Novikovas and young talent Paulius Golubickas, nor was Ernestas Šetkus the best goalkeeper.

It is a small consolation that the symbol of the Lithuanian national team Saulius Mikoliūnas has become the country’s record holder tonight.

For S. Mikoliūnas, who is included in the starting line-up, this is the 85th game of the national team. So far, most of the matches (84) have been played by Andrius Skerla, who now works in the coaching staff led by V. Urbonas. Tonight, the 36-year-old defender from the Vilnius region “Žalgiris” S.Mikoliūnas beat A.Skerla.

The most important facts and impressions of the match were recorded from the LFF stadium 15 minutes portal.

30 minutes. There is a fight around the square, no team has a unique opportunity. It is true that two attacks in Kazakhstan were unpleasant: one blow was absorbed by J. Bartkus, the other was liquidated by S. Mikoliūnas, who jumped high.

5 minutes. The news of Lionel Messi’s decision to remain at the Barça club was disappointed through the LFF stadium grandstand.

3 min. Quick target at the gate of Lithuania. A quick block from Baktijoras Zainutdinovas saved the home team at that time, Džartartų scored from the penalty spot, placing the ball near the upper left corner. 0: 1.

This was a series of delays in the defense of the Lithuanian team. E.Girdvainis failed to save him in the country, S.Mikoliūnas failed to protect him either.
