The Vilnius football club "REO" finally scored a goal against "Ekranas" in Panevezys on Sunday, but also conceded six goals themselves.
"The reasons for such a defeat will need to be looked into, of course, it is very unpleasant for us. 5 goals were scored one-on-one after passes from the midfield. Clearly, "Ekranas" played very well, their attacks were very fast, one-two touches, several passes and a dangerous situation. The players' skill stood out significantly at this level, especially talking about Mantas Savenas, Ramunas Radavicius. The Ekranas managed to play fast, I won't say it was unexpected for us.
I don't know how many dangerous situations they created in total, how much of "Ekranas" game we had to see this year, this match had a lot of moments. These were Ekranas' best games against our team. We made too many mistakes in the middle. We used to do well in midfield before, but today you can't say that. It's difficult to say specific reasons why we lost like this, we'll have to review the video. We don't get points for scoring a goal and ending Emilijus Zubas' "dry" streak, so it's completely insignificant in this case," said Stasys Baranauskas, the head coach of the A League debutants "REO".
In the first half at the "Aukštaitijos" stadium, the hosts sent the ball to Valdas Jakimavicius' goal three times. The result was only "moistened" in the second half by Mindaugas Grigalevicius coming onto the field.
