Kaunas Žalgiris II beat Hegelmann II 3:0 in the 1 Liga's Regular Season round 22 on 29 August 2026. The hosts ran the show from the first whistle, though their form had been anything but convincing. By then they'd lost fifteen of twenty league games and sat fifteenth with just thirteen points. And here's the thing — you'd expect a team that poor to fold under pressure, but not this one.
The goals came in the second half, each one building on the last. The first arrived at the forty-eighth minute, catching the visitors off guard. A second goal at the sixty-first minute put them further adrift, and the third at the eighty-first minute closed the door.
The statistics tell a story of dominance. Žalgiris II enjoyed 63 percent possession and launched 155 attacks compared to Hegelmann's 103. They registered thirteen shots on target against just two for their opponents. To be fair, the visitors managed five corners and twelve free kicks, but those numbers meant little when their shots went astray. Three off target compared to the hosts' seven suggests they were searching for something that never came.
This result moves Žalgiris II closer to safety, though they remain in the lower half of the table. Hegelmann II sit twelfth with nineteen points from twenty-one games, but this defeat adds pressure. The old head settled them down in training — or so the reports say — but results don't lie. Fourteen losses in twenty-one matches is a lot of bad days.
Looking at recent form, Žalgiris II had won their previous away match 2:1 against Jonava. Hegelmann II lost their last outing 1:2 to B1 NFA. Both sides have been inconsistent, but today one side found their rhythm.
