"Žalgiris" coach: once again we are convinced that football must be played on the field © EuroFootball.com

In the A League, Vilnius "Žalgiris" footballers defeated the champion Panevėžio "Ekranas" on their home ground, overcoming the opponents 2:0.

Coaches' comments after the match:

Valdas Urbonas ("Ekranas"): "We couldn't impose our game, couldn't stop "Žalgiris"' defense. We left the center of the field open. Conceding two goals practically determined the end of the match. For our part, we didn't shoot enough at the goal. There was a lack of ideas in attack."

Marekas Zubas ("Žalgiris"): "Once again it was confirmed today that football is an outdoor game. This was reflected in our performance. It's nice to beat the champions in a duel of equal opponents. The clash between "Ekranas" and "Žalgiris" is the strongest derby of Lithuanian teams. We are happy with this important victory and start thinking about the next matches."
