The team from the capital Aukštaitija broke runner-up Marijampolė “Sūduva” with the score 1: 0 (0: 0) in the first round match.
In the first half, the people of Sūduva had an advantage, which did not stand out only thanks to the fantastic play of Panevėžys goalkeeper Rafael Broett. Brazil countered Yevgeny Yefremov’s shot from close range and soon after defended defensively from Catalino Tira’s shot.
Unfortunately, in the middle of the half, R. Broetto was injured and was replaced by Šarūnas Jurevičius. For the second season in a row, Brazil did not finish the match for the same reason: last year, the goalkeeper was unsuccessful in the match with Vilnius “Žalgiris”.
After the break, Sūduva had a great chance to get ahead, but actively playing Romain Habran hit his head unsuccessfully after the transfer of Xabi Auzmendi.
In the 55th minute, Panevėžys punished the opponents for several missed opportunities. After a perfectly played standard position, Justin Januševskis, who outscored the opponent, smoothly from close range.
After a brief fight with the defender, FC finally got the ball home. Ernestas Veliulis had a smile on his face as he ran across the field, almost oblivious to the rain, Semiras Kerla was the scorer.
At the end of the duel, Sūduva strategist Victoras Basadre threw 15-year-old Matas Miškinis into the fight, but that did not save the residents of Marijampolė: Panevėžys won the first victory in the entire history of the match.
