Granitas-karys — HC Sviesa: 29:32, Lietuvos Lyga

HK Sveza secured a 32-29 victory over Granitas-Karis in the Lithuanian League on Saturday. The result came in the league fixture played at the home of the hosts in Kaunas. Sveza took all three points despite entering the match off two consecutive defeats.

The away side had dropped points in their previous two outings — 26-29 against Põlva Serviti and 20-21 versus Viljandi. To be fair, they had bounced back with a 34-27 win over Alytus before those setbacks. The failure to convert those two games into points had cost them ground in the table.

Granitas-Karis had held an unbeaten record through five matches, sitting third with six points from three wins and two draws. They had been hard to beat at home, grinding out results in tight contests. By then they were looking comfortable in their position, but this match told a different story.

The final scoreline — 32-29 — reflected a game where the visitors found their rhythm when it mattered most. Sveza's eight points from four wins now puts them second, one point ahead of Granitas-Karis. The home side's unbeaten run ended here, and the standings shifted accordingly.

The result closes a chapter for Sveza. They had not won since their match against Alytus on October 7th. This victory means they have not lost since, and the momentum is theirs. Granitas-Karis will look to regroup at home, but the gap between them and second place has narrowed to a single point.
