Under 21 international

Lithuania 1 - Spain 1

Spain's under 21 side could only manage another disappointing draw in Lithuania, and are now four points adrift of leaders Serbia. The youngsters took the lead on a freezing cold night when Sergio García was brought down in the penalty area midway through the first half, Iniesta converting the resulting penalty kick. But they wasted a couple of chances to extend the lead, and paid the price when Rimkevicius equalised soon after the restart. And the locals held off a late onslaught to secure a point, despite playing for the last few minutes with ten men after Skroblas picked up a second booking. (12.10.04)
