The winning streak was extended by the Kaunas district team "Hegelmann," which recorded its third consecutive victory in the 4th round of the "TOPsport A league." At a crucial moment, the team led by Andrius Skerla withstood the storm from Vilnius "Riteriai" and won with a score of 2:1 (2:0).

At the very beginning of the match, Esmilis Kaušinis played dangerously, but a deflection saved the guests. However, in the 13th minute, Rokas Stanulevičius committed a foul in his own penalty area, and Domantas Antanavičius converted the penalty. Before the end of the first half, the home team doubled the score when Klaudijus Upstas burst down the right flank, sending the ball into the penalty area where Rasheedas Yusuf scored with a header after jumping high.

At the start of the second half, Nojus Stankevičius's long attempt was close to hitting the target, but Arijus Bražinskas made sure that the ball did not go into the net. "Riteriai" soon attacked dangerously again, but the goalkeeper A. Bražinskas, who had left the goal just in time, played impeccably once more, managing to return to his position and be the first to the ball.

In the 63rd minute, Deimantas Rimpa, who had just entered the field, scored with an attempt from the edge of the penalty area into the far corner. Just a few minutes later, Leo Ribeiro could have answered with an accurate shot, but his kicked ball whizzed just past the rectangle. In the 89th minute, Nikola Džoričius could have confirmed the score after a corner taken by Patrik Popescu, but he was just short of reaching the goal.

After playing the 4th round match of the "TOPsport A league," "Hegelmann" leveled points with the championship leaders Marijampolė "Sūduva," while the defeated "Riteriai," with 2 points, remain in 9th place.
