A very unexpected victory in the 24th round of the "TOPsport A League" was celebrated by Alytaus DFK "Dainava," which left the bottom of the tournament table. The team coached by Orazovas defeated the well-performing Kauno rajono "Hegelmann" players away 1:0 (1:0).

At the beginning of the match, the hosts had a significant advantage, but they failed to score. Lazaras Kojičius missed the target from a good position, and Airidas Mickevičius saved a dangerous attempt by Patrick Popescu.

The latter Romanian legionnaire missed another good chance, while A. Mickevičius saved Dainava again when Rasheed Yusuf was close to scoring. After the break, Obi Jeremiah Chinonso, who had suffered an injury, reminded everyone of himself when he replaced "Dainava" – forward Krystianas Okoniewskis shot directly at Vincentas Šarkauskas during a counterattack.

A. Mickevičius also defended against Nikola Džoričius's attack, and Leo Ribeiro, who was brought in as a substitute, caused a lot of trouble for the opponents. However, in the fourth minute of added time, the guests' counterattack was decisive – Renatas Banevičius found K. Okoniewskis with a great pass, and the Pole took advantage of his opportunity impeccably.
