Match Recap
Iago Siqueira needed just 29 minutes to decide this one, slotting home to give Riga a narrow 1-0 win away at FS Jelgava in the Virsliga. The league table explains the outcome well enough on paper: Riga sit second with 70 points, streets ahead of Jelgava's 32 and seventh-place standing, even though the visitors arrived having won just once in their last five games. Jelgava, for their part, had two wins in that same span and pushed hard for an equalizer, but couldn't find a way past a Riga side that knows how to grind out a slim lead. History was already on the visitors' side too: Riga haven't lost to Jelgava in any of their last three meetings, with two wins and a draw to show for it, and this result kept that record intact. One moment of composure from Siqueira was all that separated two sides with very different form lines. See the 29th-minute strike that made the difference, in the highlights below.
