In the "TOPsport" supported Lithuanian Football A League, Alytaus DFK "Dainava" celebrated an important point. In the postponed match of the 22nd round, the guests from Alytus drew 1:1 against Vilnius "Žalgiris".

The hosts were more active in the first half. Machopas Cholas and Liviu Antalis attacked dangerously, although their shots lacked accuracy; once, Airidas Mickevičius saved the guests after an attempt by Nemanja Mihajlović.

In the second half, for a while, the football was more open, and the hosts took advantage of that. In the 54th minute, receiving a good pass during a counterattack and demonstrating his speed, Machopas Cholas scored his second goal in a row.

Among "Dainava" players, Krystianas Okoniewskis was active, posing a threat during a free kick. However, the brightest star was not him – in the 89th minute, Denis Ževžikovas, who burst into the penalty area, struck beautifully low, securing a point for the team.

"Žalgiris" with 36 points missed the opportunity to rise higher and remained in fifth place, while "Dainava" with 15 points is ninth.
