On Tuesday, five matches of the 25th round of the "A League" championship were played, which, like the previous round, all took place at the same time. After them, the situation in the tournament table practically remained unchanged - again the leaders "Kaunas" and "Ekranas" won, four teams competing for places 3-6 played in a draw, and "Žalgiris" crushed "Šiauliai". In the most interesting match of the round, "Kaunas" faced Klaipėda's "Atlantas". The hosts were led forward by A.Klimekas in the 13th minute, and soon after the Atlantas captain D.Žernys missed the opportunity to equalize, a legionnaire from Poland doubled the lead, so the crisis-stricken coastal team had to acknowledge another defeat. By the way, for Klimekas, this was already the third consecutive match in which he scored two goals. Continuing to dominate in the championship, Panevėžys' "Ekranas" crushed the league's underdog Kėdainiai "Nevėžis" with a score of 4-1. T.Kavolis scored the first goal playing for "Ekranas", A.Klimavičius added one, and V.Kavaliauskas and M.Savėnas, who are competing for the title of the most effective player in the "A League", each scored once. The visiting team managed to score a consolation goal towards the end of the match. In the derby of the capital city teams taking the sixth and fourth places, "Šilutės", where M.Kižys returned from Scotland after almost a year break, and Marijampolė's "Sūduva", bolstered by a legionnaire from Brazil J.Cordeiro, met and played in a goalless draw. The match could have ended differently, but in the middle of the first half, the away team striker T.Radzinevičius failed to convert a penalty kick. For the second time in a row, suffering a crushing defeat at home with a four-goal margin, "Šiauliai" lost to Vilnius' "Žalgiris" this time. Players from Žalgiris, J.Dovkša, T.Gražiūnas, and I.Morinas scored, while one own goal was scored by the Šiauliai team's player A.Oriolas.
