Just a few minutes later, the green and white could have increased their lead, but the shot from D.Ikauniekas went over the crossbar.

In the 70th minute, Deivis Mikelionis had to work as he saved a ball shot by the opponents into the lower corner of the goal.

In the 78th minute, Haris Kadričius, who made his debut in the team, had his chance, but the shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the 87th minute, H.Kadričius won an aerial duel and set up Motiejus Burbas in a comfortable position, who did not miss and further increased the lead – 3:0.

In the LFF Cup semifinals, the Žalgiris players will face the winners of the pairing between Telšiai "Džiugas” and FA "Šiauliai” away.
