Sudovans Close Season With Forfeit Win, Get Shot At Europa League Qualifying

The A Lyga match originally set for Sunday in the Lithuanian capital between FC Reo Vilnius and visiting FK Sudova was awarded as a 3-0 forfeit win for the Sudovans.  The hosts had withdrawn from the league back in August and all subsequent originally-scheduled contests with Vilnius were all awarded, under Lithuanian FA rules, to their opponents as 3-0 wins.

With that in mind, Sunday marked the conclusion of the Lithuanian A-League season, with FK Suduva finishing third in the league standings, and along with second-placed Zalgiris (another club from Vilnius), will take part in the first round of qualifying for next season's Europa League.

Ekranas, who beat out Zalgiris by one point for the league crown, will take part in the second round of UEFA Champions League qualifying for next season.

FC Reo Vilnius will try to get their act together next season in I Lyga.
