Match Overview

First Half Fireworks

It took only 12 minutes for Tauras to break the deadlock. A sharp through ball from midfielder Andrius Kuras split the Hegelmann defence, and striker Edvinas Jankauskas slotted calmly past the goalkeeper. The home side doubled their lead in the 24th minute when a corner kick was met by a powerful header from centre-back Marius Stankevičius.

Hegelmann Litauen II briefly threatened to get back into the game after a well-worked set piece in the 38th minute, but Tauras goalkeeper Ignas Navickas made a crucial save to preserve the two-goal cushion. Just before half-time, Jankauskas grabbed his second of the night with a clinical finish from the edge of the box, making it 3–0 at the break.

Second Half Onslaught

The floodgates opened fully after the interval. Tauras added a fourth goal in the 51st minute through a long-range strike by wing-back Tomas Rimkus. Hegelmann Litauen II managed a consolation goal in the 64th minute when substitute forward Lukas Petrauskas converted a penalty, but any hope of a comeback was short-lived.

Tauras responded immediately, restoring their four-goal advantage in the 68th minute via a clever header from Jankauskas—completing his hat‑trick. The scoring was rounded off by a late tap‑in from midfielder Simas Paulauskas after a flowing team move in the 81st minute.
