The postponed match of the 10th round of the „TOPsport A league“ took place in Panevėžys, where the home team drew with the guests from Žemaitija. Having played with one player less for almost the entire match, „Panevėžys“ did not lose at home and shared points with Telšiai's „Džiugas“ – the match ended with a score of 0:0.

The home team lost Rokas Rasimavičius in the 5th minute, who disrupted a dangerous opponent's attack and received a direct red card. Nevertheless, the guests created their first real threat nearly half an hour into the game when, after a corner taken by Joaquim Domingoso, Sergijus Kulynyčius headed the ball straight at Vytautas Černiauskas. On the other side, Lucas de Vega responded with a long-range attempt.

At the end of the first half, J. Domingosas and Dominykas Kubilinskas tested V. Černiauskas's skills with shots from just outside the penalty area, but the ball never found the back of the net. The Portuguese forced the opponent's goalkeeper to work again in the 53rd minute, when he took a long and powerful shot.

During the remaining time, Nino Noordanus posed a threat once, V. Černiauskas saved a header from Meinardas Mikulėnas, and shortly after, a shot with the left foot from the forward from the Netherlands flew past the rectangle.

After the postponed matches of the 10th round of the „TOPsport A league“, „Panevėžys“ remains in 6th place in the league table with 37 points, while „Džiugas“ has gathered 33 points and pushed Marijampolė's „Sūduva“ down one spot, who also has 33 points.
