Composed build-up from deep

E. Utkus anchored Lithuania's defense with 30 accurate passes and 48 touches, controlling possession from the back. His high volume enabled transitions and prevented Malta from pressing effectively in midfield.

Creative spark despite low conversion

G. Gineitis created three key passes for Lithuania but generated no expected assists, suggesting limited quality in final-third delivery. His involvement still provided attacking threat even if clear-cut chances remained scarce.

Tireless ball-winning display

K. Shaw made 14 combined defensive actions for Malta across tackles, interceptions, recoveries and clearances. His intensity in winning possession disrupted Lithuania's rhythm and kept Malta competitive defensively.

Immediate attacking threat off bench

E. Jankauskas delivered one key pass in just 45 minutes as Lithuania's substitute, offering offensive creativity when introduced. His quick impact from the bench provided fresh impetus in midfield creation late in the match.
