With 42 minutes played, Artūrs Karašausks went down in a suspected penalty situation after a challenge from the visitors’ right fullback, but the referee, having a good line of sight, signaled to keep playing.
The visitors’ central defense should have had no trouble clearing the pass to 51 minutes. However, after playing about ten minutes in the second half, the game was interrupted for half an hour due to power supply problems.
When the match resumed, the home team scored almost immediately. The visitors made a mistake, but the team from Liepaja put the ball into the back of the net with 1 meter 0, 0: Mārtiņš Ķiguru.
In the 62 minute, Jevgenijs Berjozkins hit the ball hard from the edge of the penalty box, directing the ball to Kučer.

Three minutes later, after Svārupa’s clever pass, he was pushed back into the home side’s penalty area with his left foot from an excellent position hit by Jevgenijs Kozlovs.
However, a minute later, in a similar situation, the former Ventspils resident Nauris Bulvītis hit the ball from the goalkeeper’s field from the goalkeeper’s field with his left foot. The ball first hit the crossbar, then arrived at the goal – 1: 0.

In contrast, “Ventspils” was in a series of four losses, losing points only to the leading three teams in the last month.

“Ventspils” won in the first round with 3: 1, but in the second match the draw ended 1: 1. Three of the four Ventspils goals were scored by former Jevgenijs Kozlovs from these games.
After 41 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Kozlovs might have resulted in another goal for Kozlov. An excellent pass from the middle of the field, performed by Krisa Marlon Ondonga-Mbā, allowed the Russian legionary to run in solitude with the guest goalkeeper Konstantin Mahnovski, elegantly blaming the ball over him – 1: 1.
At the “Daugavpils” stadium, “Celtnieks” beat the “Metta” team 1: 0 (0: 0) in a more cautious football game.

He also managed to get a yellow card, earning it in the 86th minute for sharpness against Raimonds Krolls. After the goal, the home team plays the ball accurately, accurately and patiently and does not allow the guests to play.

Stefans Miloševičs scored the victory goal in the second minute of the match.
The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as Golu tried lifting the ball over keeper.
In the 70th minute, Jacob Hora played cold-bloodedly and masterfully. He got a great pass that put him one on one with goalkeeper Vladislav Kurakin. In one move Hora passed the goalkeeper and sent the ball in the upper part of the goal over Jēkabs Šteinburg – 2: 0.

In addition, Punculs came on to replace Mohamed Viktor Djan in the 21st minute.
The first two “goals” were scored by Georges Taisheira in the 24th and 27th minutes, assisting Puncula in the first case. Teiheira also hit the gate structure, aiming at the far corner of the gate.
After that, it was Puncula’s turn to score, which he did with great excitement in the 43rd, 50th and 73rd minutes.
In addition, Luka Silagadze missed a penalty for the 79th minute. He hesitated after a long shot, but the goalkeeper Ivan Baturins did not fall and tricked the ball into the goal.
