Minija took all three points against B1 NFA in the 1 Liga, closing out the 19th round of the Regular Season with a 3:0 victory on Friday evening. The hosts moved further clear at the summit, their lead over third-placed visitors now stretching to fourteen points after this result. To be fair, the match rarely threatened to open up despite the gulf in quality. Minija controlled possession at 54 per cent and registered seven corners against none for their opponents. The visitors managed only one shot on target throughout, while the hosts found the back of the net once in the 87th minute according to the official record. The statistics tell a straightforward story. Minija produced five shots off target alongside four on target, while attacks totalled 115 compared to 108 for B1 NFA. By then the game had settled into a rhythm the home side dictated, with seven throw-ins and two offsides marking their territorial dominance. Standings now place Minija 19 wins, one draw and two defeats from twenty-two outings, accumulating 58 points. B1 NFA sit third with fourteen wins, two draws and six losses for 44 points. The visitors entered on a run that included a 0:2 defeat to Jonava and a 1:3 loss to BFA, neither of which suggested they would trouble the leaders. Minija's form since their 0:1 setback against Žalgiris II had looked resilient, including consecutive victories over Jonava and Garliava. This clean sheet extends their recent run, though the goal difference remains the clearest indicator of where this season is heading.
