In the UEFA Cup, there are no Lithuanian clubs left - the revenge against opponents was not enough for the leader of the "A Lyga" Panevėžys "Ekranas", who narrowly defeated "Cork City" in Ireland, but had lost at home with a score of 0-2 and has to painfully withdraw from the tournament at the very beginning.
"Cork City" 0 - 1 "Ekranas"
59' [0 - 1] Arūnas Klimavičius
In the first part of the match, both teams exchanged dangerous opportunities, but failed to score, and the first goal was scored in the 59th minute when A. Klimavičius headed in accurately after "Ekranas" captain M. Savėnas' penalty kick.
The guests needed to score a second goal and pressed their opponents, but with ten minutes left in the match, P. Lukšys' shot was brilliantly saved by the opponent's goalkeeper M. McNulty. "Cork" held on and advanced to the next stage, while "Ekranas" European Cup journey has come to an end.
