**TOPSport A Lyga today unveiled the standout performers for the month of June — and for the second month in a row it was a big one for FK Kauno Žalgiris, as both the Player of the Month and Manager of the Month awards went to the league leaders.**

30-year-old Lithuanian international midfielder **Gratas Sirgedas** was named June Player of the Month after a string of influential performances. In four matches during the month, Sirgedas recorded two goals and two assists, helping solidify his club’s grip on first place.

His two goals — both stunning long-range strikes — came in a crucial 2–1 victory over Hegelmann FC, a direct rival in the title race. The only match in which Sirgedas was held off the scoresheet was a goalless draw against FK Sūduva.

FK Kauno Žalgiris head coach **Eivinas Černiauskas** took home the Manager of the Month honor for a second consecutive month. The 40-year-old, in his debut season managing the club, has led his side to the summit of the table — currently six points clear of their nearest challengers Hegelmann FC and FK Sūduva.

In June, Černiauskas guided his team to an impressive three victories: a 2–1 win over Hegelmann FC, a 3–0 triumph over FK Panevėžys, and a 2–0 result against FK Banga Gargždai. The only dropped points came in the aforementioned 0–0 draw with Sūduva.

DFK Dainava Alytus striker **Krystian Okoniewski** was recognized as Young Player of the Month after an explosive June. The 20-year-old Polish forward — on loan from recently relegated Puszcza of the Polish Ekstraklasa — had just one goal in nine appearances prior to June. But in just three matches last month, he bagged four goals.

His standout performance came in a thrilling draw against title contenders Hegelmann FC, where he netted twice. He added two more goals in a 2-1 win over FK Banga Gargždai, a result that ended Dainava’s 15-game winless run and marked their first victory of the season.

Now with five goals in 13 matches, Okoniewski has become a key figure in DFK Dainava’s push to climb away from the bottom of the standings after a dismal start to the season.
