The Lithuanian national football team finished their performance in the 2006 World Cup qualifying cycle with a 1-1 draw against the Belgium team.
Lithuanians have failed to score a goal in four consecutive matches. The only Lithuanian goal was scored by the Belgians into their own net.
Lithuania 1 - 1 Belgium
19' [0 - 1] Karel Geraerts
36' [1 - 1] Olivier Deschacht (own goal)
83' Deividas Šemberas sent off the field
In other group matches, there was no expected miracle for the Spaniards: although Spain crushed the group underdog San Marino 6-0 away (F.Torres scored three goals, S.Ramos added two, and Raul added one), the Serbian and Montenegrin team defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-0 with a single goal by M.Kežman.
This victory allowed the Serbian and Montenegrin team to become the winners of their group and thus secure a ticket to the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Meanwhile, the second-place Spaniards will only go to the World Cup by winning the play-off matches.
