In the first stage of the UEFA Intertoto Cup tournament, decisive battles began. Today, the return match in Tallinn against "JK Trans Narva" was played by Vilnius "Vėtra". The team of the Lithuanian capital already had a three-goal advantage over the opponent from Estonia from the first match - back then, after two goals from Nerijus Vasiliauskas and one from Vytautas Karvelis, "Vėtra" crushed their opponents with a score of 3 - 0.
Match summary: - 0 - 1 (Overall score 0 - 4) 85'
As the match was nearing its end, the Vilnius team scored a winning goal through Šarūnas Litvinas. So "Vėtra" easily secured their ticket to the second stage. There, they will already be awaited by a team from Edinburgh, Scotland, who finished eighth in their country's championship last season with 44 points. The first matches of the second stage will be played in Edinburgh on July 3 or 4, and the return matches in Vilnius after a week.
Tomorrow at 18:00, another Lithuanian team - Klaipėda - will fight for a spot in the second stage at home, trying to overcome a two-goal deficit against the famous Moscow team.
