In the "TOPsport A league," "Kauno Žalgiris" once again bit the Kaunas district "Hegelmann" footballers. In the 28th round, both teams shared the points – 1:1.

The blue and whites controlled the ball for longer in the first half, but conceded a goal during a positional attack. In the 38th minute, Oyinlola Kayode found Žanas Benedičičius in the penalty area, who sent the ball into the net with a single touch.

However, the visitors did not maintain their lead for long, as the "Hegelmann" team equalized after 4 minutes. Following a pass from Patrick Popescu from the left flank, central defender Steve Kingue accurately redirected the ball into the goal with his head.

At the end of the match, the club from the Kaunas district was closer to victory. Njoya Abdelas Kaderas headed the ball against the crossbar, and during the final attack, a shot from Mato Vareika was saved by Deividas Mikelionis.
