After a day of breaks, the 12th international U-17 football tournament matches continued on Tuesday in Palanga and Kretinga.
The Lithuanian youth national team (up to 17 years old) suffered their first defeat, narrowly losing to their Ukrainian counterparts. In other Group A matches, Azerbaijan defeated Belarus - now each team in this group has a victory, so the final rankings will only be clear after the last matches are played.
In Group B, Poland and Russia secured victories, defeating Georgia, who suffered their second loss, and Latvia. For the Russians to claim the top spot in the group, they will likely need to beat Georgia in their final match, while for the second spot, Poland will play against Latvia.
