Bey1 celebrated a clean 2:0 victory over Garliava in the 1 Līga's regular season round 21. The match took place on 21 August 2026 and the hosts controlled the tempo from the opening whistle. M. Dziugas opened the scoring in the seventeenth minute before T. Gudaitis doubled the advantage forty-three minutes in. Both goals arrived in the first half and the visitors never recovered.
By then the home side had already seized momentum. They registered 101 attacks against Garliava's 76, and their possession edge of 54 per cent told across ninety minutes. Four shots on target produced two goals, while the visitors mustered only two attempts on goal. To be fair, the visitors earned seven corners compared to six, but they could not turn pressure into chances.
The home side collected one yellow card and kept their discipline, while Garliava also picked up a booking. Three offsides were called against the hosts and none against the visitors, suggesting Garliava stayed deeper in defence. Throw-ins came 27 to 16 in favour of the home side, and goal kicks showed a similar pattern at 12 to 8.
Results in recent form make the gap clear. Bey1 have won fourteen of twenty-two league matches and sit third with 44 points. Garliava occupy eleventh place with 22 points from twenty-one fixtures, recording six wins and eleven defeats. The hosts lost three of their last five and won against Hegelmann II on 14 August, while the visitors have not won since June.
This result extends Bey1's advantage over Garliava to twenty-two points in the table. The home side now face a season where consistency matters more than bursts of form. They cannot afford another slip if they want to challenge for the top. The visitors must find a way to convert possession into something more dangerous than throw-ins and corners.
