FK Sirvena 3–2 Nevezis Kedainiai: Thrilling Comeback Seals Victory in II Lyga

Sirvena, Lithuania – FK Sirvena produced a stirring second‑half fightback to defeat Nevezis Kedainiai 3–2 in an action‑packed Lithuanian II Lyga encounter. The match on 12 June 2026, played at Sirvena’s home ground, saw the visitors take a commanding 2‑0 lead before the hosts roared back with three unanswered goals.

Match Overview

Nevezis Kedainiai started with great confidence and dominated the first 30 minutes. Goals from a quick counter and a penalty gave them a seemingly comfortable advantage. However, Sirvena showed tremendous character, pulling one back just before the break and then completing the turnaround with two stunning strikes in the second half. The win was crucial for Sirvena’s push towards the top‑half of the division.

Key Moments

• 12' – Nevezis open the scoring: A long ball caught the Sirvena defence out of position, and the visiting striker slotted home one‑on‑one.
• 34' – Nevezis double the lead: A clumsy challenge inside the box gave Nevezis a penalty, which was confidently converted to make it 2‑0.
• 43' – Sirvena pull one back: A corner kick was met by a powerful header from Sirvena’s centre‑back, giving the hosts hope right before half‑time.
• 62' – Sirvena equalise: A sweeping team move ended with a low drive from the edge of the area that beat the Nevezis goalkeeper.
• 79' – Sirvena win it: A speculative shot from 25 yards took a deflection off a defender and looped into the net, sparking wild celebrations.

Tactical Analysis

Nevezis Kedainiai’s early gameplan of high pressing and direct passing worked perfectly for the first 35 minutes. But after Sirvena’s first goal, their defensive shape became disjointed. Sirvena switched to a more aggressive 3‑4‑3 formation in the second half, overloading the Nevezis midfield. The home side’s wing‑backs provided constant width, and the equaliser came from that very approach. Nevezis failed to adjust and eventually paid the price for sitting too deep.

Standings and Season Impact

The victory lifted FK Sirvena into seventh place in the II Lyga table, just three points off the promotion play‑off spots. For Nevezis Kedainiai, the defeat was a bitter pill to swallow, as they had looked in control for much of the game. They dropped to tenth, now only five points above the relegation zone. Sirvena’s resilience could prove crucial as the league enters its second half, while Nevezis will need to address their defensive fragility after conceding three goals in a single half.

Man of the Match

Although no official award was given, Sirvena’s central midfielder stood out with a tireless display, covering every blade of grass, winning tackles, and assisting the equalising goal. His energy in the second half was instrumental in turning the tide.

Both teams are back in action next weekend, with Sirvena travelling to Kauno Zalgiris B and Nevezis hosting Hegelmann B.
