Atlantas out of the cup
Kauno Zalgiris ended it 0‑4. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Atlantas turn down Zalgiris for Tomas Dapkus
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

A cup hiding at Kauno Zalgiris leaves Atlantas explaining themselves
0-4, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Tempers go at Atlantas
Dilshod Jo'rayev was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Trakai watching Fiodor Vaitkunas
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Atlantas have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
Squad17 Aug 2026
Donatas Dapkus gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Karolis Dubickas 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.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Nobody left the Atlantas dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The cruellest goal, and it is Tomas Dapkus's
A touch he did not want, a bounce he could not have read, and his name in the wrong column. There is no consoling a man after one of these, and Atlantas will not try tonight.
In brief
- Market Atlantas sign Vikintas Jankauskas, one for the future
- Squad Arnas Eliosius signs a new deal
- Market Donatas Jankauskas runs his contract down
