Squad

Lukas Sernas damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Atlantas bow out of the cup

Zalgiris go through and Atlantas go home, 0‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Molodechno come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Atlantas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Zalgiris leaves Atlantas explaining themselves

0-3, 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.

Market

Darius Paulauskas asks to leave Atlantas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Vikintas Simkus in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Atlantas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Bastián Morales gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Bastián Morales has just signed for Atlantas, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Rokas Girdvainis

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Atlantas

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Fiodor Kazlauskas is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Fiodor Kazlauskas: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Cup progress for Atlantas

A 1‑1 win over Kauno Zalgiris, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

Lukas Sernas damages knee ligaments — 25 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 25 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

A debut Arvydas Jankauskas will not forget — 7.73

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.73 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Vikintas Simkus

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Brando Castillo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Atlantas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

Atlantas supporters have found a favourite in Arvydas Jankauskas

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Arvydas Jankauskas has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Vikintas Simkus

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Vykintas Paulauskas

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Lukas Sernas

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Atlantas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Vikintas Simkus signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vikintas Simkus commits to Atlantas for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Atlantas

Vikintas Simkus 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.
