A one-man rearguard from Arnas Satkus
There were 12 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match12 Aug 2026
The cup run ends for Utenis
0‑3 against Zalgiris, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
Market17 Aug 2026
Utenis say no — this time
The offer from Suduva for Olegs Zjuzins was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Market17 Aug 2026
Edgaras Barauskas has said yes to Trakai
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Utenis have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Utenis are taken apart by Zalgiris — and the town wants answers
It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Words exchanged at Utenis
Olegs Zjuzins and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Zalgiris tell Utenis: Marko Capan is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Arnas Satkus falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Saulius Kazlauskas
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Saulius Kazlauskas, and the manager let it.
In brief
- Boardroom Nobody left the Utenis dressing room in a hurry
- The dugout The manager’s verdict
- Squad Edgaras Cernych signs a new deal
