The Lithuanian U16 men's national team on Friday once again tested their strength against their French counterparts during an away game.

In the second encounter between the teams, the French once again proved their superiority - this time the Lithuanians suffered defeat 1:3 (0:1).

It is worth noting that in the first match on Wednesday, the Lithuanians led twice, but during the added time of the second half, they conceded a goal and had to admit the opponent's advantage with a score of 2:3.

In Friday's match, just like on Wednesday, only one goal was scored in the first half, this time by the French, forcing the Lithuanians to chase the opponents.

After the break, the French bolstered their lead with two more goals, while Carmine Lukas Mennea scored the only goal for the Lithuanians towards the end of the match.
