In the Lithuanian football "A-League" on Wednesday, the remaining three matches of the 9th round took place. The matches were played in Vilnius, Marijampolė, and Klaipėda. In the tournament table, "Ekranas" continues to lead after winning away with 22 points. "Kaunas", who defeated "Vilnius" by two points, is behind by 6 points from the leader. Meanwhile, in yesterday's match, Vilnius's "Vėtra" played 1-1 draw at home with Klaipėda's "Atlantas". 0 - 1 22' Ričardas Beniušis [0 - 1] Starting the match more actively, the Vilnius team quickly handed the initiative to the visitors, and the Kaunas team sent the ball into the net after a scramble in the penalty area in the 22nd minute. This was done by the leader of "Kaunas" attacks Ričardas Beniušis. After the goal, the game leveled off and the result remained unchanged until the end of the first half. By the way, in both the first and second halves, Kaunas player Rimantas Žvingilas looked very dull, creating more noise than building up the team's attacks. From the beginning of the second half, "Kaunas" moved into the Vilnius team's half and did not allow them to think about attacks. In the 72nd minute, Darius Gvildys shoots but the ball bounces off the crossbar and the result remains unchanged. After this shot, Gvildžius is applauded by the "Vilnius" fans gathered at the "Žalgiris" stadium. A few minutes later, Beniušis tries to score, but fails to beat the goalkeeper. At the end of the match, the game becomes open, but neither team manages to score. FBK "Kaunas" wins 0-1 and does not allow "Ekranas" to pull away. 1 - 4 37' Andrius Jokšas [0 - 1] 38' Karolis Jasaitis [0 - 2] 46' Andrejus Tereškinas [0 - 3] 69' Marijan Choruži (from 11m.) [0 - 4] 83' Oleg Mozgovyy [1 - 4] At the beginning of the match, Vilnius "Žalgiris" looked more active, but soon the game leveled off. The Vilnius team started visiting the "Šilutė" penalty area more and more frequently. After one such breakthrough, Simas Skinderis makes a fantastic save, but Andrius Jokšas is the first to react and scores a goal. A minute later, Mindaugas Čepas lifts the ball from the flank and Karolis Jasaitis beats the "Šilutė" goalkeeper for the second time. Just at the beginning of the second half, after a scramble in the penalty area, A. Tereškinas, from 10 m, sends the ball into the corner of the net with a powerful shot. In the middle of the second half, Vidas Kaušpadas tries to repeat P.Pauletas's shot into the goal of the Lithuanian national team, but the inaccurate shot only causes laughter from the fans. In the 69th minute, the same Vidas Kaušpadas falls in the penalty area and the referee awards a penalty. It was converted by Marijan Choružij. In the 83rd minute, "Šilutė" managed to reduce the gap. Oleg Mozgovyy scored a goal with a great shot into the far corner of the net. The match ended like this. Vilnius achieved an easy victory. 1 - 2 70' Aurimas Kučys [0 - 1] 86' Arūnas Klimavičius [0 - 2] 89' Tomas Radzinevičius [1 - 2]
