Last season, the seventh place team in the Lithuanian championship played a friendly match on Wednesday in Turkey against a very exotic team from our country - the "JEF United" team from the top Japanese "J-League". The match in Antalya ended peacefully with a score of 1-1. The team from Vilnius took the lead when Brazilian Muller made a successful pass to his compatriot Kleyr in the 17th minute, but the Japanese team equalized the score in the 39th minute. The capital team was without injured captain Aivaras Laurišas and goalkeeper Liudvikas Valius. "The Japanese team is strong and quite technical," said "Vilnius" head coach Ivanas Švabovičius after the match. "But we also looked good, so the result reflects the game." "JEF United" finished eleventh in the Japanese championship last season. "Vilnius" starting lineup: Semež; Radavičius, Erasmo, Rodnei, Freidgeimas; Muller, Everton, Andreson, Lukša; Kleyr, Adilson; Players who appeared on the field after substitutions: Marcio, Papšys, Paulinho, Rinaldo, Akanni Wasiu
