The victorious accents of Sūduva’s goal were performed by Hugo Videmontas, who has distinguished himself twice, and Andrija Kaludžerovičius.
“Žalgiris” only needed a win in this match – before the last round, Vilnius was 1 point behind his rivals.
Žalgiris won the Lithuanian champion title for the first time since 2016. In the last three seasons, Sūduva has won league A and Žalgiris has remained second.
Counting from the restoration of Independence, Vilnius residents became champions for the eighth time.
Along with the A-league gold, “Žalgiris” also received a ticket to the UEFA Champions League team next season. Sūduvai will have to settle for play in the qualifying competition of the new draft of the UEFA European Conference League.
Sūduviai has run out of titles this season for the first time since 2016. For his part, Žalgiris, coached by Aliaksejus Baga, won not only League A, but also the Super Cup match in February.
Žalgiris’ team resolved the match and the end of the season very quickly. Already in the 12th minute, Saulius Mikoliūnas fell into the penalty area under the leg of Aleksandras Živanovičius, and the penalty won by the captain was executed by Hugo Videmontas in the manner of “panenkos”.
After four minutes, the difference doubled – in the 17th minute there was confusion in the goal defended by Ivan Kardumas, and its winner was Andrija Kaludžerovičius – the ball that fell under Žalgiris’ feet was soon found in the net and the advantage of Žalgiris became 2-0.

The episode that plays for half an hour generated a lot of conversation. The ball fell into the goal and the Marijampolė players were already raising their hands, but the Latvian referee’s whistle sounded: he saw Mihrets Topčagičius’ foul against Ivan Tatomirovičius, although this meant that both “Sūduva” players and Saulius Širmelis had no afraid of cursing.
In the second half, the Marijampol invitados guests failed to recreate the intrigue, and another goal was scored by H.Videmontas himself almost half the time.

The most important events of the decisive match were recorded by the portal 15 minutes.
Match progress:
88 min. The situation repeats itself: A. Kaludžerovičius could have scored again, but Žalgiris still lacks a more precise finish to the attack.
82 min. A. Kaludžerovičius missed another good opportunity.
80 min. Strange episode. Some players even stopped thinking that a sideline had been registered, but the game continued and A. Kaludžerovičius had a golden opportunity to score: I. Kūdumas saved Sūduva from goal. A. Kaludžerovičius also received reproaches from Mantas Kuklis, which was a little later.
73 min. Another sigh in the field of “Sūduva” – E. Gertmonas plays unscrupulously, and the jumped E.Jankauskas hits the net, but the referee does not count the goal for the band.
72 min. It could have been the most beautiful goal of the game! Liviu Antalis tried to recover the goal for H. Videmonto but despite a great job on the right, he could not finish.
66 min. Probably the first truest occasion of “Sūduva” after the break. J.Tadičius stopped the ball and tried to hit it spinning, but his opponent blocked the way to the goal.

| All, “Žalgiris” is the Lithuanian champion. You won’t say anything else here. |
63 min. OBJECTIVE! “Sūduva” did not catch H. Videmontas, who ran alone against goalkeeper I. Kardumas further strengthens the positions of “Žalgiris” – the score is already 3: 0.
56 min. A.Kaludžerovičius directs the ball into the net, but even before that, the assistant referee saw to the side.
54 min. Yellow cards are raining down in Vilnius for “Sūduva” players – J. Tadičius and D. Pušičius committed a crime within moments.

| What a headless episode of N. Gorobsov! He drove straight towards D.Šimkai. Fortunately for Sūduvis, the referee did not draw the red card. |
47 min. Serious foul by N. Gorobsov against D. Šimkai. It is true that the Argentine paid off with such a yellow card.
46 min. Replacement immediately after the break: Josip Tadičius will replace M. Topčagičius.

Mantas Krasnickas, 15-minute journalist |
| S. Širmelis waited for the judges to walk into the dressing room. The coach pointed a finger at the referees and spoke very angrily: I have no doubt about the episode where the foul was called during Sūduva’s goal. |

After the first half: “Žalgiris” – “Sūduva” 2: 0
45 min. The first part is over – “Žalgiris” two steps closer to the title.
39 min. The result could have been 3: 0 – I. Kardumas saves “Sūduva” one by one in a situation against H.Videmontas.
37 min. “Sūduva” is much more active after lost goals. “Žalgiris” gave the rivals the territorial advantage, but Saulius Širmelis’s team will not benefit from it – there are almost no chances in the Vilnius goal, except for the disallowed goal.

| Judges error. Insurance. Sūduva scored a goal, but the referee scored a foul elsewhere in the penalty area. S. Širmelis sends a judge far away, but the decision does not change. There will definitely be a lot of talk about this moment. |
29 min. The ball is in the “Žalgiris” goal, but the whistle rings out: M. Toopčagičius’s foul against I. Tatomirovičius is recorded to the great ire of the “Sūduva” players and coaches.

Mantas Krasnickas, 15-minute journalist |
| 2: 0 right now, but that’s not surprising. “Žalgiris” was preparing for the match without interruption, and “Sūduva” got out of the sickbed. Everything is logical, we can congratulate Vilnius, who has been waiting for this title for a long time and will pick it up after 90 minutes of fighting today. By the way, I wonder what so many people are doing in the VIP grandstand at the LFF Stadium, after all, spectators are not allowed into the game. |
17 min. OBJECTIVE! The confusion in the penalty area of ”Sūduva” ends with the ball falling under the feet of A. Kaludžerovičius, and he does not throw such a gift in the wind – the score is already 2: 0.
15 minutes. E. Jankauskas makes a sharp cross pass, but E. Gertmonas escaped through the gate in time.
13 min. OBJECTIVE! H.Videmont with a fantastic hit in the style of “panenka” leaves no chance for I.Kardumas and “Žalgiris” now in the place of “conductor” – they already have a suitable result. 1: 0.
12 min. Penalty fee! A.Živanovičius tried to hit the ball, but hung S.Mikoliūnas’s leg. Opportunity for “Žalgiris”.
9 min. Sūduva’s first dangerous attack: Eligijus Jankauskas fooled several opponents, but his goalkeeper was caught by goalkeeper Edvinas Gertmonas.
7 min. The first minutes of the game, be careful. “Žalgiris” practically does not give the ball to the guests, but so far Vilnius residents have not been able to see anything special.

Mantas Krasnickas, 15-minute journalist |
| Behind the fence of the LFF stadium, songs in support of “Žalgiris” are heard. Although gatherings of people are prohibited, it seems that this is not a motive for Vilnius residents. I wonder how the police will react to this. |

Mantas Krasnickas, 15-minute journalist |
| Hello football fans! Well, the most important battle in Lithuanian football has already started. If we have to highlight the main defeats of the teams, then Martinas Berkovec is not in the goal of “Žalgiris”, and Josipas Tadičius is not at the top of the attack of “Sūduva”. If I had to make a blind guess, today I would consider Vilnius residents as my favorites. All for one simple reason: Marijampolė teams had up to 20 players with coronavirus, so preparation for this match was extremely limited. |
Before the start of the game. Just before the ball left midfield, the players paused for a minute’s silence, paying tribute to the late former Lithuanian national team defender Marius Žaliūkas.
Before the start of the game. It seems that the replacement of “Sūduvai” was needed before the match started: Josip Tadičius is replaced by Mihretas Topčagičius. The reason is not yet clear.
Initial formation of the Žalgiris: E.Gertmonas, N. Ljubisavljevičius, I. Tatomirovičius, S.Mikoliūnas, D.Slijngardas, D.Šimkus, M.Vorobjovas, F. Kyemereh, L. Antalis, H.Videmontas, A.Kaludžerovičius.
Initial composition of “Sūduva”: I. Kardumas, J.Jefremovas, S.Kerla, L. Klimavičius, A.Živanovičius, V. Slavickas, N. Gorobsovas, D.Pušičius, T. Salamonas, E.Jankauskas, J.Tadičius.
