At 45', Lithuania brought on Motiejus Burba for Modestas Vorobjovas. Three minutes later, VAR reviewed an incident involving Saglam and ruled there was no penalty. Lithuania struck at 53': Kucys supplied the assist and Michelbrink finished to make it 0-1.
Liechtenstein replaced Saglam with Alessandro Lo Russo at 61', while Lithuania introduced Dolznikov and Adrian Lickunas for Eligijus Jankauskas and Pijus Sirvys. The change paid off quickly. At 66', Dolznikov scored from Gvidas Gineitis' assist to make it 0-2.
Lithuania kept control after extending the lead, finishing with 68% possession, 15 shots to Liechtenstein's four, and eight corners. Their greater attacking threat was capped by two second-half finishes, with Dolznikov's impact off the bench helping turn control into a clear victory.
