The Panevėžys team could have scored after a dangerous pass from Kwadwo Asamoah, but Ernestas Veliulis, who once broke away on a counterattack, missed the goal area. In the second half, the Panevėžys team also focused a lot on defense, but in the 83rd minute, a goal was conceded.
After the substitution, Isaacas Asante appeared on the field and lost the ball on his own half, so Motiejus Burba made a pass into the penalty area, where the guests, taking advantage of the numerical superiority, celebrated after a goal scored by Leon Krekovičius.
“Kauno Žalgiris” at least for now returned to 1st place with 48 points, overtaking Marijampolė’s “Sūduva,” which had led for a long time. The Panevėžys team has 32 points and ranks seventh.
