In a recent match held at the Sportima arena, Vilnius' football team Žalgiris succumbed to a 1-2 loss against TransINVEST, a team from the Vilnius district.

However, TransINVEST quickly equalized just before halftime through Xabi Auzmendi, who cleverly redirected the ball into the net during the referee's added time.
The second half saw TranINVEST applying more pressure, resulting in a decisive goal in the 72nd minute from Domantas Šluta.
