Today in Šiauliai, the only 21st round of the NFKA "A Lyga" matches were played, where the local team "Šiauliai" faced the last-placed team "Nevėžis". The unimpressive game unexpectedly ended 0-0.

Although "Šiauliai" took to the field hoping for an easy victory and pressed their opponents heavily at the beginning of the match, V.Stankevičius' "Nevėžis" players managed to withstand the first wave of attack and disrupted the Šiauliai team.
It was an even fight on the field, and the Šiauliai goal was saved impressively several times by Latvian Ingus Lukovičs.
Perhaps the best opportunity within the ranks of "Šiauliai" came from the young Vaidas Viktoravičius, who entered the field as a substitute.
In these matches, Šiauliai had two debutants: defender Genadijus Ščekotilinas played from the start until the 68th minute, and forward Vasilijus Monakovas appeared on the field in the 64th minute. The third newcomer, V.Milevskis, did not play due to injury.
