The 143rd-ranked Lithuania team ushered in the fifth round of the first stage of the European region of the World Cup qualifiers. Lithuania played at home to face the 168th-ranked Malta team in this game.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Jack, who came on as a substitute, was sent off after receiving a red card, resulting in one less player in the Malta team. In the 6th minute of stoppage time, 21-year-old Turin star Gibetis scored a goal and helped Lithuania equalize the score.
