Friendly Match in Kaunas Ends in a Goalless Draw Between Lithuania and Israel
Kaunas, Lithuania – In a match held at the S. Dariaus ir S. Gireno stadionas, Lithuania and Israel drew 0-0 in a friendly that offered little to highlight in terms of excitement in front of goal. Latvian referee Edgars Malcevs had a busy afternoon, showing a total of five yellow cards, three for Israel and two for Lithuania.
Although ball possession was evenly split with 50% for each team, neither managed to convert that possession into clear goal-scoring opportunities. Lithuania attempted eight shots, three of which were on target, while Israel attempted five, with only one testing the Lithuanian goalkeeper.
The match was marked by numerous fouls, 16 committed by Lithuania and 13 by Israel, disrupting the flow of the game. Both teams tried to create danger through set pieces, with Lithuania earning two corner kicks and Israel four, but without success. The match ended in a draw that reflects the lack of offensive punch from both sides.
