The Kazakhstan club "Tobol" was given a very serious challenge.

In the return match of the Conference League, "Panevėžys" played to a 1:1 draw away with "Tobol," and the series winner was decided in a penalty shootout, where the Kazakhs were superior.

In the 33rd minute, Nauris Petkevičius put the Lithuanian team in the lead.

In added time, Amine Talal pushed the ball into the "Panevėžys" net.

There were no goals in the second half or extra time – the action moved to the penalty shootout.

At the 11-meter mark, three "Panevėžys" players made mistakes, and the decisive penalty was taken by forward Marko Bačanin. The fifth Serbian to approach the ball failed to extend the series.

Two Lithuanian clubs remain in Europe – "Kauno Žalgiris" and Vilnius "Žalgiris."
