In the match held in Vilkaviškis, "Bruklinas" did not allow any doubts about their strength from the very beginning. Halfway through the first half, Renanas Cardoso opened the scoring with a powerful shot, which remained unchanged until halftime, and increased in the second half.

With 38 seconds left in the half, Francisco Anderson received the ball beautifully inside the opponent's penalty area, went around the goalkeeper, and doubled the lead; however, just 30 seconds later, the Mažeikiai team turned an attack into an own goal.

The highlight of the match came in the first half of the second period when the Vilkaviškis players sent the ball into the opponent's net three more times, completely removing any intrigue. In all three cases, Gintaras Čibirka, R. Cardoso, and Francisco Gustavo scored, unmarked.

During the remaining part of the half, Dominykas Daunoravičius took advantage of the freedom given by the opponents, and in the last minute, F. Anderson scored into an empty net.

"Bruklinas" – VIP 7:1

Goals: R. Cardoso 2, F. Anderson 2, G. Čibirka, F. Gustavo, D. Daunoravičius; I. Peletskyi (own goal)

On Sunday, "VGTU Vilkai" achieved a very important victory, moving to seventh place in the tournament table by defeating "Gargždų pramogų" club 6:2 at home, while without Deividas Reimaris. This loss dropped Gargždai to fourth place.

The start of the match did not promise anything bad for the guests. Taking advantage of a mistake by the opponents' defenders, Denisas Matihinas found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and scored impeccably. Unfortunately for him, this was the only good episode throughout the first half.

The "Pramogų" team's misfortunes began with Donatas Stankevičius attempting to interrupt the opponents' attack and scoring an own goal. Then, after a corner, Lukas Tatarūnas scored with a powerful shot, and five minutes before halftime, a handball foul resulted in a 6-meter penalty, which Martynas Valikonis converted confidently.

Just before halftime, the fourth goal was scored in the guests' net when three "VGTU Vilkai" players broke away on a counterattack, taking advantage of the fact that the opponents' goalkeeper was not in position. Jonas Lebedevas created a three-goal advantage for his team with a weak yet precise shot.

In the second half, "Gargždų pramogų" played with five players, without a goalkeeper, leading to their opportunities. They utilized this numerical advantage once but conceded two goals into an empty net, the last one coming with just 1.2 seconds left in the match.

"VGTU Vilkai" – "Gargždų pramogos" 6:2

Goals: L. Tatarūnas 2, M. Valukonis, J. Lebedevas, M. Leonavičius, D. Stankevičius (own goal); D. Matihin, L. Sipavičius
