Lithuania U17 secured a historic 1-0 victory over England U17 in a stunning UEFA European U17 Championship qualifier on October 31, 2025. This result, following England's loss to Scotland, delivers a catastrophic blow to England's qualification hopes and stands as one of the biggest shocks in the qualifying round. Lithuania, defending deep and with immense discipline, scored a goal against the run of play, likely from a rare counter-attack or set-piece. They then defended heroically for the remainder of the match, repelling wave after wave of English attack. For England, a second consecutive 1-0 defeat is a disaster, leaving them with zero points and virtually eliminated from contention. For Lithuania, the victory is arguably the greatest in their youth football history, providing a massive boost to their chances of progressing.
