Match6 Apr 2030

Cup progress for Kauno Zalgiris

A 1‑0 win over Stumbras, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match3 Apr 2030

Cup progress for Kauno Zalgiris

A 3‑1 win over Stumbras, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match8 Apr 2030

Kauno Zalgiris up to position 2

12 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings8 Apr 2030

Amine Benchaib scores twice — 8.29

Two goals and a mark of 8.29 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings8 Apr 2030

A debut David Bennett will not forget — 7.34

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.34 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad8 Apr 2030

Franco Baldassarra 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 Kauno Zalgiris this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings8 Apr 2030

A goal and an assist for Mohamed Thiane — 7.96

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.96 beside his name.

Squad8 Apr 2030

Valdas Paulauskas signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Valdas Paulauskas commits to Kauno Zalgiris for another 3 years.

Squad8 Apr 2030

Words at Kauno Zalgiris training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Amine Benchaib is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad24 Dec 2029

A fracture rules Gratas Sirgėdas out for 107 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kauno Zalgiris will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad24 Dec 2029

Words exchanged at Kauno Zalgiris

Franco Baldassarra 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.

Squad8 Oct 2029

22 days out for Kirill Dontsov after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Kauno Zalgiris will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Anton Tolordava stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Anton Tolordava and Kauno Zalgiris agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Words at Kauno Zalgiris training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Motiejus Burba is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market8 Oct 2029

Kauno Zalgiris buy the years ahead of David Bennett

He is 17, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Manuel Palmieri 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 Kauno Zalgiris this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout8 Oct 2029

When it matters, Vykintas Slivka plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match8 Oct 2029

Kauno Zalgiris in the hunt for Europe

Position 4, 25 points, and a run-in that decides whether next season has Thursday nights in it. Nobody is calling it a race yet, which is what people say during one.

The dugout8 Oct 2029

The manager makes Kirill Dontsov a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Kauno Zalgiris. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

The dugout8 Oct 2029

Francesco Pio Errico asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
