VIDEO ⟩ “Liepāja” players fight back and beat “Jelgavu”

The Windy City players trailed 0-2, but Ibrahim Issa scored twice to equalize and David Anane scored the winning goal.

In the seventh minute of the game, the Liepaja team made a mistake in the counterattack and after a long pass, Marcis Peilāns made a raid from the left side, taking advantage of a few more mistakes of the home team and making it 1:0. Ten minutes later, another “Liepāja” sloppiness cost the second goal conceded, as Agris Glaudānas stood out in the ranks of the debutants.

In the second half of the half, “Liepāja” attacked more and more menacingly until in the 41st minute, Issa recovered one goal with a shot from about ten meters.

At the beginning of the second half, the Liepaja team had a chance to draw, but the goal was disallowed, in which the ball probably crossed the goal line. The VAR system was not used in this match, so it was not possible to clearly establish the goal. In other episodes, Edgars Andrejevs played successfully in the goal of “Jelgava”.

In the 72nd minute, after Gauthier’s raid on Mankenda and a pass in the penalty area, Issa hit the ball with his head accurately, making it 2:2, but seven minutes before the end of the regular time, Anane put Liepāja in the lead with a one-touch kick.
