"In the championship of the 'Optibet A Lyga', on Sunday, 'Kauno Žalgiris' managed to break a series of four consecutive winless matches. In the 21st round match, the green-and-whites defeated direct competitors Vilnius 'Riteriai' footballers in front of their own fans - 2:0 (1:0). As early as the seventh minute of the game, after Divine Naah's shot, the ball ended up in the guests' goal, but the goal was only counted a few moments later. Initially, the match referee's flag was raised, but after consulting, the goal was counted - 1:0. Then the host team had several fairly dangerous attacks, but in the middle of the half, game control slightly belonged to the visitors from the capital. However, Deividas Mikelionis played excellently and handled his tasks well. After the break, Žalgiris had a very good chance to score. After a corner kick, Edvinas Girdvainis struck powerfully from a couple of meters, but the 'Riteriai' goalkeeper played brilliantly. Antonas Fase'as also had another good opportunity, while D. Mikelionis continued to ensure the safety of his own goal. Towards the end of the main game, 'Kauno Žalgiris' managed to increase their advantage. After a pass into the penalty area, Michael Thuique struck accurately and secured the victory - 2:0. After this victory, Žalgiris is 8 points behind 'Riteriai', who are in fourth place, and have played two games less."
