Ekranas get a kick in the Baltics as City run riot

CORK CITY got their latest European campaign off to a dream start with this hugely impressive and richly deserved 2-0 win against Lithuanian league leaders FK Ekranas in Panevezys yesterday evening.

Though played on an uneven surface, the Irish league leaders were helped initially by evening temperatures much lower than had been the norm in the Baltics the previous two days.

Ekranas, despite being 12 points ahead in the Lithuanian first division, were still something of an unknown quantity for City.
