Just a week ago, Kaunas "Žalgiris" seemed to have completely shamefully lost for the second time in a row to the Welsh club "The New Saints," suffering a 5:1 defeat as guests, with a total score of 10:1 in favor of the Welsh club. However, it seems that "The New Saints" are not to be underestimated. This week they confidently defeated the well-known Plzeň club "Viktoria" 4:2. The result could have been even more solid, as the Welsh team was leading 4:0 until the 88th minute, but then the Czech club responded with 2 goals. This was the third to last qualifying round for the new Conference League, and Welsh striker Declan McManus scored a hat-trick in these matches.
