Gintra of Šiauliai are one step away from the 25th championship title in the club's history. 

After a spectacular start, Gintra won away in their rearranged round 16 fixture by 6:0 (3–0 at half-time), beating TransINVEST of Vilnius district. 

The Lithuanian champions lead their nearest challengers by 11 points and can secure their 25th national title, and 22nd in succession, in the next round. Gintra have 54 points to MFA Žalgiris-MRU's 43, with four rounds remaining for both sides.

The yellow and blacks will have the chance to secure gold this coming Saturday, 24 October.

At 15:00 at Šiauliai Central Stadium, Gintra will host third-placed FK Žalgiris. As well as giving the Šiauliai side a chance to seal the title with a win, the event promises plenty of Halloween-themed entertainment for spectators.

The champions remain unbeaten this season, with Artūr Sikorskij's side drawing three matches.

Gintra striker Kristina Pereviznyk scored twice in this match to take her tally to 15 goals, drawing level with former Žalgiris player Olamide Adugbe in the scoring charts. 

Gracie Knutzen and Agnieška Kazarina were not in the matchday squad. Canadian Kiyani Johnson's season is already over following a serious injury.
