England 0-2 Lithuania
The FA Futsal Four Nations Tournament
Sir David Wallace Building, Loughborough University
20 December 2008

England couldn't build on Friday's draw with Ireland, as they slipped to defeat against a Lithuanian team who now have a real chance to go on and win the Tournament.

Peter Sturgess' team put in a determined and battling performance, but two first half goals from the Lithuanians proved enough for them to get their second win of the competition following Friday's victory over Libya.

They opened the scoring after 12 minutes, when Nerijus Maciulis struck and just two minutes later they got the crucial second goal from the penalty spot with Virmantas Lemezis scoring.

It could have been different though, as England did create numerous chances to get themselves back into the game but unfortunately the opportunities weren't taken and the visitors held on for the win.

They now know that a victory against Ireland on Sunday will be enough for them to win the competition, whilst England face Libya.
