In the first month of the "TOPsport A League," Marijampolė's "Sūduva" achieved a fantastic victory. The team coached by Donatas Vencevičius won 1:0 (1:0) at home against the previously leading Telšiai's "Džiugas" in the 4th round.

The start of the match went perfectly for the Marijampolė team. In the 5th minute, "Džiugas" defended against a corner, but Darijus Stankevičius, who cleared the ball back, watched as Kota Sakurai spectacularly redirected it into the net with a single touch.

During the remaining time of the first half, Marius Paukštė had a few tasks to handle, while the guests threatened with two inaccurate long-range shots and a header attempt from Daniel Nosegbe Suško. "Džiugas" only managed to hit the target once in the 68th minute - after an attack from David Martino Anane, Ignas Plūkas was in position.

"Sūduva" was close to scoring a second goal a couple of times. The shots from 17-year-old debutant Pijus Bičkauskas and Lucky Tom were successfully saved by M. Paukštė.

The Marijampolė team, with 9 points, climbed to the top of the league table, while "Džiugas," with 6 points, currently stands in second place.
