The 4th round of the "TOPsport A League” continued in Panevėžys, where the local team "Panevėžys” met the Gargždai team "Banga.” After winning in the first three rounds, both teams shared the points and played to a draw with a score of 1:1 (0:1).

At the beginning of the match, defense completely dominated over the attack. However, in the 20th minute, Rokas Filipavičius, who wore the "Sūduva” jersey last year, made an excellent shot from outside the penalty area, but the Panevėžys goalkeeper Vytautas Černiauskas demonstrated his skill.

Midway through the first half, the home team was forced to make a substitution because the captain Linas Klimavičius could not continue the match. Young Eimantas Dzinga came on in his place. The injuries among the center-backs did not end there - the "Banga” team lost Simao Junior.

As the half approached its end, the Gargždai players executed an excellent set-piece, and Matas Ramanauskas, who received the ball in a good position, put the team ahead.

Once again after the break, the visiting goalkeeper Mantas Bertašius made a serious mistake in the penalty area, but luckily for the Gargždai team, the ball did not end up in their net. A few moments later, the "Banga” players responded with a dangerous attack, and after Vaidas Magdušauskas’ shot, V. Černiauskas had to work hard.

In the 61st minute, Pavle Radunović, who scored two goals in the previous round, provided an assist to Issac Asante, who equalized the match.

After conceding the goal, the "Banga” representatives began to make mistakes in defense, but P. Radunović, who had two excellent chances, could not beat the opposing goalkeeper M. Bertašius.

During the remaining time, the score did not change, and both teams shared the points. "Banga” remains in the middle of the tournament table with 5 points, while the Panevėžys team, with the least points, is very close behind.
