With the performance that the Valmiera team is currently showing – it is possible to do it. The game of the Valmiera team is currently the best and it can be seen not only on the field, but also in the tournament table.
The next game for the people of Valmiera will be with the team of the former champion “Riga FC” on June 28 at the “Skonto” stadium in Riga. Now it is the “Rigans” and the closest followers of Valmiera. Between the two teams – 7 points…
Where is the dog on the haystack? It lives in Daugavpils. BFC “Daugavpils” team played the last game (at least in the near future last) in “Celtnieks” stadium, where Daugavpils teams once had the greatest success (medals and title in the Premier League championship, champion title in the Latvian SSR Championship and the Latvian Cup – then it was “Chemist”) in the history of football. The home team had a big advantage, but Salaspils “Super Nova” was beaten only with 1: 0. So many spectators in the stands of “Celtnieks” stadium have not been seen this season yet and a large part came due to the status of “farewell game” – contact us when we see our team at home…
The next game on their field for the BFC “Daugavpils” team in the Super League is scheduled for July 31, but will anything change by then? I very much doubt it. The second largest city in Latvia is hardly honored by the fact that its top league team has no place to play home games. It doesn’t cost much, you just want to. The Latvian Football Federation would be ready to install a new artificial pavement and the city would have to spend as much as removing the old one and applying the new pavement, as well as perhaps improving the foundation a little more. But… City management does not need it. However, LFF will not provide financial support until the project on the Esplanade is completed. Why such a relatively small project (a landscaped artificial field with grandstands) can not be completed in five years – it is also an interesting question, and not only for the current city management.
The football club has offered to rent the football field for, for example, ten or twenty years, and then it would take care of both the application of quality pavement and the maintenance of the field. But… It is not allowed. What arguments? No.
The surprise of this round of games took place in Liepāja – FC “Tukums 2000 / Telms” beat FC “Liepāja” 2: 1. Liepāja do not win in the third game in a row and the recent statement of coach Tamaz Pertia about reaching the leader now only causes a smile… First the victory was missed from the 0: 2 match with RFS, but now the loss from the 0: 1 team, which was 25 points behind.
Perth did not hope for such a return to Liepaja. The next game for Liepaja players is now at home with “Super Nova” and they will have a chance to return to the road of victory, but then – a game at home with “Riga FC” (July 1). There are 18 more games until the finish of the tournament and it will be interesting to see how the people of Liepaja will overcome the failure zone.
Jūrmala “Spartaks” fired FK “Metta” head coach Andrejs Gluščuks. The Spartans played from 0: 1 and 1: 2 and naturally won with 4: 2, because they also played their opponents as drivers, but were unable to use their opportunities. Nigerian Abidun Ogunniji scored three goals, scoring only one goal in 22 games last year (8 assists), but has never stood out in 14 games this season.
Metta has not won in 7 games in a row, and has lost six of them. The team’s fighting spirit and enthusiasm have disappeared somewhere. Maybe the new head coach (says Andris Riherts may return) will be able to find them. “Spartaks”, on the other hand, played a meaningful game, won naturally and has only 3 points left until the 7th place.
“Riga FC” tortured the victory in the match with FK “Auda” – 1: 0. The only goal was scored in the 80th minute, and the opponents accidentally threw the ball into their own goal.
For the “Rigans” it was the 7th victory in a row, they took the second place in the tournament table, but the team’s performance is not convincing (unlike, for example, from the 2: 0 game against RFS). We will see how it will be on Sunday evening against “Valmiera FC”.
