Austria

Lithuania powers through 2-0

By: j | September 10th, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Lithuania continued its stellar week of performance, defeating Austria today 2-0 on the strength of a brace by Livorno’s Tomas Danilevičius.

The match was a very tight wide open affair with numerous opportunities on either side of the pitch, however it remained scoreless at the break. At the fifty-second minute Tomas Danilevičius re-directed Marius Stankevicius’s long range effort to give Lithuania a 1-0 lead. Only six minutes later a Deividas Cesnauskis cross to the Livorno man netted Lithuania’s second goal. While Austria had numerous opportunities to score, each fell short.

Karel Brückner leads Austria against the Faroe Islands on October 11 in Vienna.
