In basketball-obsessed Lithuania, women's football is gaining new
fans after the sensational debut of 10-year-old Zemyna Lekaviciute as the
Baltic state's youngest-ever scorer in a second-division match.
After just five minutes on the pitch, Zemyna took a pass and sent
the ball past goalkeeper Agne
Ratkeviciute, who is more than twice her age, handing her Zalgiris
Vilnius reserves team a 10-0 lead over Sesupe.
"This was her very first appearance in (second-division) Lyga
1 and she became the youngest scorer in Lithuania," beamed Svajunas Stravinskas, manager of the
women's football academy at Zalgiris.
Passing the ball to Zemyna was Greta Jaroseviciute, the other
youngster on the pitch born in 2006.
Wearing the green shirt of the Zalgiris reserve team, and reaching
barely up to her fellow players' shoulders, Zemyna also grabbed an assist for a
late goal that pushed the final score up to 11-0.
