In the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League this week in Zagreb, “Kauno Žalgiris,” who were crushed 5-0 by the local “Dinamo” team, recovered on the domestic front. Returning to the Lithuanian championship battles, the national champions confidently proved their superiority against “Hegerlmann” and returned to the top spot in the tournament table.
In the first half, the ball hit the “Hegelmann” goal three times, but Leo Ribeiro’s first accurate shot in the 19th minute was canceled due to a foul on a teammate.
However, the Brazilian did not remain without his goal. Already in the 32nd minute, after a pass from Motiejus Burba, the footballer sent the ball into the goal of his former team again, and this time everything was done according to the rules.
In the 37th minute, the difference doubled when, after L. Ribeiro’s pass from the left flank, M. Burba finished the attack with a precise shot.
