Alytaus DFK "Dainava" returned to the "TOPsport A League" quite successfully after the national team break. The representatives of Dzūkija played to a draw 2:2 against the Kaunas district "Hegelmann" footballers in front of their fans.

In the first half, the hosts performed better. In the 19th minute, Artiomas Baftalovskis could have put his team ahead when he stood at the 11-meter mark, but his penalty was saved by Vincentas Šarkauskas.

However, after 9 minutes, the Dainava players took advantage of their opponents' mistake in the midfield – the goal was scored by Krystianas Okoniewskis. However, at the start of the second half, "Dainava" fell apart and was again chasing the opponents.

In the 48th minute, after a poorly played moment by goalkeeper Airidas Mickevičius, the guests launched an attack that ended with a goal by Leo Ribeiro. Moreover, shortly after a sharp pass, central defender Maksymas Maksymenka deflected the ball into his own net.

"Dainava" showed character and secured the second point in Alytus. Receiving a pass into the penalty area, K. Okoniewskis escaped from the opponents and defeated V. Šarkauskas from a sharp angle.
