The Lithuanian boys’ U-15 national team played their second match of the UEFA “Development” Tournament in Bulgaria.

Dominykas Galkevičius’s side suffered a heavy 0–5 (0–2) defeat against their Polish counterparts. Earlier, Lithuania had lost to the host nation Bulgaria in a penalty shootout, and they will conclude their participation in the tournament on Wednesday with a match against Slovakia.
