The 21st round of the "TOPsport A lyga" was opened by the match between "Panevezys" and Gargzdai "Bangos". The Gargzdai team celebrated a victory with a minimal result of 1:0 (1:0).

The meeting was more active in the first two encounters won by "Banga" - Emilis Timburas caught the ball struck by Valdas Paulauskas, and Vilius Piliukaitis' shot flew past the goalpost.

In the 14th minute, Sivertas Gussias, who scored a double in the previous match, made an impressive shot from afar, but the ball hit the goalpost. A few moments later, Robertas Mazanis missed a good opportunity to score. In the middle of the half, Linas Klimavicius' shot with his head flew past the goal.

The best chance at the end of the half was created by the Gargzdai team, but Valdas Paulauskas, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, failed to score.

Another chance created by "Banga" during referee's added time was wasted. Matas Ramanauskas redirected the ball towards the top corner of the goal after Vilius Piliukaitis' pass from the edge of the field.

In the second half, the Panevezys team controlled the ball for longer periods, but lacked accuracy and failed to create clear opportunities in front of the opponents' goal.

The hosts organized a more dangerous attack only in the 78th minute, but Nojus Luksys and Federico Palacios both missed the goal with their shots.

"Banga" clinched victory with 26 points, securing the fourth place, while "Panevezys" suffered another defeat this season, remaining in seventh place.
