In the March 8th match pitting Kretingos FK Minija against FK Kauno Zalgiris B, the away team edged out a 2-1 victory. In a closely contested match, it was the away team's efficiency in converting scoring opportunities that played a significant role in deciding the outcome of the match.

On the surface, Kretingos FK Minija dominated certain aspects of the game, particularly in the corner kicks department where they registered a commanding 8 compared to FK Kauno Zalgiris B's feeble 3. However, it seems that Kretingos FK Minija struggled to capitalize on these set-pieces as they managed to score only once.

Additionally, Kretingos FK Minija placement beyond the defense line wasn't particularly effective as they found themselves caught offside on two occasions. In contrast, FK Kauno Zalgiris B operated a more disciplined offensive pursuit, not being charged with any offside during the game.

Despite committing more fouls (12 versus 7), FK Kauno Zalgiris B demonstrated a more clinical execution in the key moments, as they scored two important early goals in the second half - around the 49th and 52nd minutes. Interestingly, these were timed around the same period the home team conceded their single yellow card warning, indicating a possible loss of composure during this time which might have been capitalized on by FK Kauno Zalgiris B.

Kretingos FK Minija displayed a notable fight back with a goal in the 95th minute, but the timing proved too late to spur a turn-around.

While the teams were square on red cards, with no dismissals during the match, FK Kauno Zalgiris B was slightly more ill-disciplined, picking up two yellow cards, compared to the home team's single caution.

In summary, FK Kauno Zalgiris B's triumph was significantly hinged on their ability to make early breakthroughs in the second half and maintain a more disciplined offensive line, avoiding offside traps. Kretingos FK Minija, in contrast, had the majority of set-pieces opportunities, but their inability to convert these, coupled with their unfortunate timing of conceding two goals shortly after receiving a yellow card, saw them lose pace with their opponents.
