Brighton controlled the clearest attacking zones and sustained pressure for longer spells. Kauno Žalgiris still found moments when the first pass beat the press, but they rarely turned those entries into repeated threats. The match tilted on spacing, second balls, and who produced the cleaner final action around the box.
