The 21st round of the "TOPsport A League" continued in Panevėžys, where the local team hosted the representatives of the Sun City. Lucas de Vega, who became the architect of "Panevėžys" victory, scored a brace, allowing them to triumph over FA "Šiauliai" with a score of 2:0 (1:0).

Already in the 2nd minute, Panevėžys' mistake was not exploited by Eligijus Jankauskas, who found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper; his shot was saved by Vytautas Černiauskas. However, on the other side of the barricades, L. de Vega capitalized on his chance, scoring a goal with the help of a ricochet after a pass from Ernesto Veliulis. In the 19th minute, the teams exchanged shots – a dangerous attempt by Daniel Romanovskis was stopped by V. Černiauskas, while a ball kicked by Ariagneris Smith went directly to the goalkeeper.

During the added time, the guests developed a great attack right from the defense, which ended with Gabriel Micevičius' attempt and another great episode for the opponents' goalkeeper. In the 64th minute, the score doubled when L. de Vega, freed from the coverage of several opponents, scored his brace.

With 10 minutes left to play, Scotty Sadzoute made a surprising accurate shot into the corner of the goal; however, the goal was disallowed due to an offside call. With just a few minutes left in the match, Deividas Dovydaitis, receiving the ball from E. Jankauskas, had his chance, but his shot was too weak.

After the 21st round match of the "TOPsport A League," "Panevėžys" caught up with Telšiai's "Džiugas" in 6th place with 28 points, while the representatives of Sun City, having suffered a loss, remain in 4th place with 32 points.
