Latvian Cup owner “Auda” drew 1:1 against Slovakian club Trnava “Spartak” in their debut match at the Eurocups in Riga. Meanwhile, the league leaders “Riga” lost 1:2 to the players of “Kecskemét” in Hungary.
At the “Skonto” stadium, “Auda” had a good chance to take the lead already at the beginning of the match, but Niko Bretschneider sent the ball over goalkeeper Martin Vantrub from close range. “Spartak” did not miss its chance and Sebastian Koša opened the scoring after a corner kick. The visitors were reduced to 10 men in the 35th minute as defender Nicolas Gorosito was sent off for the second caution.
The score did not change until the break, but in the 60th minute of the match, Režinaldo Ramirez equalized for “Auda” in a quick attack, hitting the bottom corner of the goal.
On the other hand, in the match in Hungary, Shoma Sukhodovskis scored a goal for the hosts in the 52nd minute after a violation in the penalty area with a 11-meter penalty kick. In the 85th minute, Gergo Palinkaš doubled the advantage of the home team after a cross, but the striker from Riga, Antoniis Contreras, who came on as a substitute, immediately recovered one goal, improving the chances of “Riga FC” to achieve success in the sum of two games.
Earlier this week, FK RFS and “Valmiera” FC already played their first matches in the second round of the Conference League qualification. Riga lost 0:2 to Azerbaijan’s “Sabah” at home, while Valmiera’s team scored a convincing 3:0 away win against San Marino’s “Tre Penne”.
In pairs, the strongest team will be determined in the sum of two games, with the winners advancing to the third round of tournament qualification. The return matches will take place in a week.
The teams that have competed in the qualifiers and overcome the fourth preliminary round will enter the conference league group tournament. The Conference League is UEFA’s third-tier club competition after the Champions League and Europa League.
