On Sunday, the “Riga” team won the match of the 24th round of the “Optibet” football league over “Metta” with a score of 3:2 (1:1).

The first half ended with a 1:1 draw. In the second half of the second half, Kristofers Rēkis made a handball in his penalty area and brought a 11-meter penalty kick to his own goal. Goalkeeper Jānis Beks guessed the direction of the ball hit by Juri Kendish, but did not save from a lost goal – in the 76th minute, 2:1 in favor of “Riga”.

Four minutes later, in a fast attack, Artyom Puzirevskis passed the ball to Zhan Mbasi, who made it 2:2. True, the tie lasted only two minutes, because at the other end of the field, after a pass by Douglas Aureliu, Luis Torres hit his head accurately and restored the lead to the “Riga” team.

Three minutes before the end of regular time, the head coach of “Metta” team Andris Richerts was expelled from the game. A couple of assistants from both teams were also expelled.

The main referee of the match was Vitaly Spasjonnikov, but Treimanis unusually played the role of the fourth referee.

Richerts explained at the post-match press conference that he did not say anything insulting to Treiman, so he does not understand why he received the red card.
