“Panevėžys” played 1: 1 in the final home match with national champion Marijampolė “Sūduva”, and defeated the Suvalkians 5: 4 during extra time. Aleksandras Živanovičius was the only one who did not notice his blow in the penalty series.
The LFF Cup won by Panevėžys, founded in 2015, is the first trophy in the club’s history. This historic victory gave the people of Panevėžys a ticket to the UEFA Europa League playoffs for next season.
J. Martins, who coaches “Panevėžys”, who was last in league A, but presented a surprise in the cup competition, thanked everyone who contributed to it, and when he spoke of his mother, it was difficult to control her tears.
“The game was tough, but we defended wisely, we tried to create opportunities in the counterattacks. We deserved to win because we were prepared for anything. We perfected all the details during training and we also worked a lot with penalties.
Soccer gave us the opportunity to win this important title for the club and the city, and the victory was won not only by the footballers, but also by many people who believed in them. Thanks to Panevėžys employees, managers and coaches.
I also want to thank my family. Today I am thinking about my mother who is no longer with me. And the players, they worked hard, they waited for this moment and they deserved it. The players won this title not only competing in the final, but also working all this season, ”said the Portuguese.
At that time, Sūduva’s helmsman Saulius Širmelis declared that Panevėžys smiled successfully.
“It just came to our notice then. Congratulations to the Panevėžys team, who really wanted to win and got a lucky ticket in the lottery. I mean 11-meter penalties. The match was as it should be in the final. Without special beauty, but full of struggle.
The match will continue with “Žalgiris”. We will see that it is important to lick the wounds now because now there were six players missing. Extremely low attack potential. Difficult things await us, ”said S. Širmelis.
The winners of League A will decide in the clash between Sūduva and Vilnius Žalgiris on October 31 in Vilnius. Before the last round, the people of Marijampolė have a one-point advantage, so the fourth consecutive champion title in Vilnius will be guaranteed by a win or a draw.
