Match

Chastening afternoon for Atlantas

A 1‑4 beating by Siauliai was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

A one-man rearguard from Ignas Sernas

There were 7 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.

Squad

Tomas Sernas in a row with a teammate

Squad

Fiodor Satkus steps up from the Atlantas academy

Donatas Lasickas steps up from the Atlantas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Donatas Lasickas has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
