During the week, eight matches took place in the Girls' Elite League, and teams demonstrated higher productivity than usual. There were even so-called "hat tricks," which three U15 players celebrated.

[U15] In the younger players' division, a tendency emerged that the number of real contenders for the gold medals decreased to two - Vilnius MFA "Žalgiris"-MRU (28 points) and MFA "Bitės" (27 points) distanced themselves from other competitors in the tournament table.

In an away game, MFA "Žalgiris"-MRU crushed the FC "Hegelmann" team with seven goals scored in the first half. Justina Blaževičiūtė took the opportunity to complete a hat trick, Miglė Šilobritaitė scored two goals, and Andrėja Jusiūtė added one.

In the port city, MFA "Bitės" played postponed matches with their peers from Klaipėda FM. The Vilnius girls achieved victory after Agata Marija Kairytė's goal in the first half and a later goal by Goda Smailytė.

FK "Banga" defeated the third-placed "Utenos Utenis" at their stadium, now separating these teams by just one point. The star of the match was Andrėja Tamošauskaitė, whose individual performance was marked by a "hat trick." Other goals were scored by Gargzdai's Augustė Dobravalstytė and Utena's Gabija Repečkaitė.

In an away game, Ukmergė SC demonstrated supremacy against "Kauno Žalgiris" FA peers, thanks to Ugnė Gruodytė's hat trick and Adrijos Česnavičiūtė's brace. A goal by Liepos Zlatkutė at the end of the match allowed the guests to avoid a "dry" defeat.

[U17] In the Girls up to 17 years division, after ten matches, a top threesome was formed, consisting of MFA "Žalgiris"-MRU (26pts), FK "Žalgiris" (24pts), and FK "Banga" (21pts).

Two matches per week were played at home against FA "Panevėžys"-PRSSG. On Wednesday, the Panevėžys team lost to the division leader, who secured the victory through Patricja Penkauskaitė's goal and Justina Blaževičiūtė's double. On Saturday, a tougher challenge was posed to the Plungė team, but FK "Babrungas" took home the win thanks to Emilija Grauslytė's brace.

The central match of the tour was between FK "Banga" and FK "Žalgiris," who had an equal number of points until then. Immediately, the victory with a minimal advantage was won by the Žalgiris team - crucial was Marts Lipnickaitė's precise strike.

At their stadium, Klaipėda FM hosted MFA "Bitės," leading for some time after Elzė Česnauskaitė's goal. However, the away team turned the result in their favor - Goda Smailytė scored two goals, and Agata Marija Kairytė and Morta Stašaitytė added one each.
