1‑2 against Kauno Zalgiris, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Up for the corner, and Uglješa Radinović delivers — 7.53
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Uglješa Radinović scored, was marked 7.53, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Atlantas ask about Edvinas Vaitkunas
A loan enquiry to Stumbras: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Titas Milašius has outgrown this division
