Then moved to Hungary, spending three years there before returning to his native Panevezys for a final campaign with Ekranas. • Participated in Lithuania's first competitive matches as an independent country in 1992, and scored once in 14 appearances for his country overall. • Following his 2001 retirement, worked as an assistant at Vėtra and Kaunas before being named head coach at Ekranas in 2008. There, Urbonas won five successive championships, two national cups and was named best domestic club coach three times. • Named Lithuania's best coach again in 2015, having led Trakai to a second-place finish in the league. A brief spell at the end of 2017 in Latvia with Spartaks earned him another league title. • Appointed by former club Žalgiris midway through 2018 and steered the team to a Lithuanian Cup triumph. Named Lithuania's head coach in February 2019. Fernando Santos Date of birth: 10 October 1954 Nationality: Portuguese Playing career: Benfica, Estoril (twice), Marítimo Coaching career: Estoril, Estrela da Amadora, Porto, AEK Athens (twice), Panathinaikos, Sporting CP, Benfica, PAOK, Greece, Portugal • A left-back, Santos – who holds a degree in electrical and telecommunications engineering – started his playing days at home-town club Benfica before spending most of his career with Estoril. • He retired from playing in 1987, going immediately into coaching at Estoril, where he was head coach for six years, guiding the club to two promotions and into the Portuguese top flight. • Had four seasons with Estrela da Amadora prior to joining Porto in 1998. Led his side to the Liga title in his first term, adding two domestic cups before departing for AEK in 2001. Again made an instant impact, lifting the 2002 Greek Cup. Went to Panathinaikos that summer followed by spells at Sporting, AEK again and Benfica. • He then revived PAOK's fortunes after taking over in 2007, steering them to runners-up spot in the 2009/10 Super League to earn a place in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. Announced his departure in May 2010 and was confirmed as Otto Rehhagel's successor as Greece coach six weeks later, proving an immediate hit as he helped them to the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2012. Repeated the feat for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, guiding Greece to the last 16, before stepping down. • He was appointed by Portugal that September after Paulo Bento's departure and led them to UEFA EURO 2016 thanks to seven successive victories. The crowning glory was to come in France, Portugal remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament and defeating the hosts in the St-Denis final thanks to Éder's extra-time goal; two years later, Santos and his team reached the last 16 of the World Cup, following that with victory in the first UEFA Nations League, beating Switzerland and the Netherlands on home soil in the Finals. 5 Lithuania - Portugal Tuesday 10 September 2019 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit LFF stadionas, Vilnius Match officials Referee Bas Nijhuis (NED) Assistant referees Johan Balder (NED) , Davie Goossens (NED) Fourth official Serdar Gözübüyük (NED) UEFA Delegate Ariel Kenneth Scheiman (ISR) UEFA Referee observer Iouri Baskakov (RUS) Referee UEFA EURO Name Date of birth UEFA matches matches Bas Nijhuis 12/01/1977 5 74 Bas Nijhuis Referee since: 1992 First division: 2006 FIFA badge: 2007 Tournaments: 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup, 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Championship Finals N/A UEFA European Championship matches featuring the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 07/10/2011 EURO QR Portugal Iceland 5-3 Porto Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 01/12/2010 UEL GS Sporting Clube de Portugal LOSC Lille 1-0 Lisbon 07/10/2011 EURO QR Portugal Iceland 5-3 Porto 17/09/2014 UCL GS FC Porto FC BATE Borisov 6-0 Porto 6 Lithuania - Portugal Tuesday 10 September 2019 - 20.45CET (21.45 local time) Match press kit LFF stadionas, Vilnius Match-by-match lineups Lithuania Final tournament - Qualifying round Group B Team Pld W D L GF GA Pts Ukraine 5 4 1 0 11 1 13 Portugal 3 1 2 0 5 3 5 Luxembourg 4 1 1 2 4 5 4 Serbia 4 1 1 2 7 11 4 Lithuania 4 0 1 3 3 10 1 Matchday 1 (22/03/2019) Luxembourg 2-1 Lithuania Goals: 0-1 Černych 14, 1-1 Barreiro Martins 45, 2-1 Rodrigues 55 Lithuania: Šetkus, Klimavičius, A.
