Ekranas Panevezys 2-6 Siauliai B turned into one of the most spectacular scorelines of the Lithuanian I Lyga season on 19 September 2026, as Siauliai B produced a ruthless away performance to win by a six-goal margin. The visitors scored six times at Aukstaitijos Stadium, combining sharp finishing with a midfield display that overwhelmed Ekranas Panevezys for long spells.

The result gave Siauliai B a major boost in the I Lyga standings and highlighted their ability to punish teams in transition. For Ekranas Panevezys, it was a damaging night defensively, even though the home side created enough chances to suggest the scoreline could have been less severe.

Match overview

Siauliai B started with intent and took the lead in the 7th minute when a quick break down the right ended with a low finish into the far corner. Ekranas Panevezys responded positively and equalised in the 19th minute after a patient passing move opened space inside the penalty area.

That parity lasted only until the 31st minute. Siauliai B regained the lead with a composed finish following a defensive mistake, and they added a third in the 44th minute when a cross from the left was converted from close range. The half-time score of 3-1 already flattered the visitors slightly, but their efficiency in front of goal was undeniable.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Siauliai B scored again in the 52nd minute to make it 4-1, effectively ending the contest. Ekranas Panevezys pulled one back in the 67th minute through a well-taken set-piece routine, but Siauliai B responded with goals in the 78th and 88th minutes to complete the 6-2 rout.

Tactical story

Siauliai B set up to press aggressively in midfield and attack the space behind Ekranas Panevezys' defensive line. Their wide players stretched the home defence, while the central midfielders repeatedly won second balls and launched quick transitions. That approach worked perfectly once Siauliai B took the lead, because Ekranas Panevezys had to push forward and leave gaps at the back.

Ekranas Panevezys enjoyed periods of possession, especially before half-time, but they struggled to control Siauliai B's counter-attacks. The home side's high defensive line was exposed repeatedly, and their attempts to play out from the back led to turnovers in dangerous areas. By the final 20 minutes, the game had become an open, end-to-end contest that suited the visitors far more.

Standout players

Siauliai B's centre-forward was the focal point of the victory, scoring twice and linking play effectively. Their right winger also caused constant problems with direct running, while the central midfielder who dictated the tempo controlled the middle third with calm distribution and intelligent pressing.

For Ekranas Panevezys, the attacking midfielder was the brightest performer, creating several chances and scoring one of the home side's two goals. The goalkeeper, however, endured a difficult evening and was left exposed by the defence on multiple occasions.

Table and season impact

The three points strengthen Siauliai B's position in the I Lyga table and give their goal difference a significant lift. A 6-2 away win can be a momentum-building result, particularly for a younger squad that thrives on confidence and quick attacking play.

Ekranas Panevezys will need to address their defensive organisation quickly. Conceding six at home is a major concern, and the coaching staff will likely focus on compactness, rest defence and decision-making when playing out from the back. In a competitive I Lyga campaign, a response in the next fixture will be essential.
