In a tightly contested 1 Lyga match between FC Neptunas Klaipeda and BFA Vilnius, Klaipeda emerged as the odds-defying victors with a 1-0 scoreline despite Vilnius having statistical dominance in a number of areas.

Klaipeda's goalkeeper was arguably the defining factor of the match, with an impressive eight saves out of Vilnius' eight shots on target. Every strike that Vilnius made towards goal was met with an answer by the home side's goalkeeper, establishing a solid backline which Vilnius couldn't penetrate.

On the offensive end, despite Klaipeda making fewer shots on target relative to Vilnius (5 to 8), their striking efficiency was superior, with their single goal coming from just five attempts. The home side appeared to focus on quality over quantity, with a 20% success rate in their on-target attempts, unlike Vilnius' unrewarded tenacity. Klaipeda's two goal assists underline a certain teamwork and coordination in their attacks, adapting their game to make every opportunity count.

A careful examination of corner kicks hints at a disciplined defence from Klaipeda. Despite being on the receiving end of six corner kicks awarded to Vilnius, Klaipeda’s defense prevented any successful conversions.

In terms of discipline, both teams kept their cool, with no yellow or red cards issued during the match. This is particularly noteworthy for Klaipeda who committed a higher number of fouls (12 to 8) without drawing any caution.

Klaipeda also used all of their substitutions, with three players entering the fray, possibly hinting at a more dynamic, adaptive game plan. The more reserved approach from Vilnius, with just two substitutions, may suggest they maintained more consistency in their lineup.

Ultimately, despite a lower number of shots and corners, FC Neptunas Klaipeda displayed superior efficiency in attack and stability in defence. Their teamwork, disciplined fouling and exceptional goalkeeping played significant roles in securing their win against BFA Vilipius.
