After winning in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, team captain Ignas Dedura was happy with the result, but thoughts were already turning to the next round, where they will have to play against the Belgian champions Anderlecht in Brussels.
"We felt psychological pressure, knowing we had to win at home, but we were prepared for that. We fought only for victory. Another outcome would not have satisfied us. We implemented what we planned - we have the victory. It is very satisfying. The next opponent will be much stronger, I think not only for me, but probably for everyone around," said Dedura.
"I am happy that there are no injuries and we did not collect any cards. Probably all players will be able to play in the next round. We will play with all our might. Away games are always tougher, and it will be the same in Brussels. If it's a draw there, we will have an advantage at home again. In Brussels, we will strive for a positive result, which will be very hard to achieve."
One of the scorers, young Žilvinas Kymantas added: "The team played well, created an opportunity for me, and I scored a goal. We gave it our all, and it brought the result - a victory. Playing at home today, it was difficult for the opponents to show something, they had no chances. Our fans supported us well, the "home walls," as they say, decided the result. We need to focus, analyze Anderlecht's game, and try to show what we are capable of there."
