September 8th, Lithuania, ranked 143rd in the world, lost 2-3 to the Netherlands. After the game, Lithuanian coach Jan Koskas accepted a post-match interview.

He said: "It may be more valuable than getting one point or even three points. It's inspiring for all of us, whether it's the players, the football world as a whole, or the youth training system. We showed that something like this can happen in football. I don't want to talk about our loss, the players performed so well."

The Netherlands led 2-0 at the start

"We successfully counterattacked back again. It's normal to have a hard start, their pace of play is completely different, and the overall level is far above us. It takes some time to adapt. It's a very rare experience for many of us players. But they find strength in themselves and always believe it. I really can't describe it."
