“Žalgiris” crushed “Sūduva” and became the A league champion

In 2020, the Vilnius Žalgiris footballers, who won the decisive match for gold, triumphed in the Lithuanian Football League A.

The capital team in the match of the 20th match at home 3: 0 (2: 0) defeated “Sūduva” from Marijampolė, who triumphed in the Lithuanian championship during the previous three seasons.

The duel for the guests began with an extremely thankless script. In the 13th minute, Saulius Mikoliūnas demonstrated a foul by Aleksandras Živanovičius in the penalty area, and Hugo Videmontas realized the penalty imposed by the referee.

In addition, at 4 minutes, after the errors of the defenders of “Sūduva”, Andrija Kaludžerovičius took his opportunity near the goal.

Marijampolėčiai struck in the second half of the first half: after Semiro Kerlos’s pass, Thomas Salamonas sent the ball into the goal, but the referee recorded a foul for Mihretas Topčagičius in the penalty area.

At the end of the first half, H. Videmont could have scored, but in the confrontation between the Frenchman and Ivan Kardum, the Croatian goalkeeper was superior.

However, in the 63rd minute, the most productive player in the championship scored for the 13th time, finally burying the Sūduviai team’s chances of fighting for the required draws.

At the end of the match, Žalgiris had several more grateful chances to score, but was unable to seize them.

The capital team finished the season with 45 points and beat the remaining “Sūduva” in second place with 2 points.
