In Virsliga action, Spartaks met Riga on October 8. Riga came out on top, securing a 1-3 win.
The scoreline opened on the 11th minute when Marcelo Torres converted the chance, tipping the balance in Riga's favor. Hrvoje Babec, Douglas Aurelio and Olegs Laizans added to the score, concluding at 1-3.
The spotlight turns to the field where the upcoming match sees Spartaks and Riga renew their battle, 2 months after the previous Virsliga encounter which Riga won 2-1. Spartaks are in a rough patch, heading into this clash after suffering defeats to Liepaja, Valmiera, Rigas FS, Tukums and Auda, having failed to win in their last seven outings. Focusing on defensive improvements could pave the way for better results, as their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last nine home matches.
After their recent two-win streak against Super Nova and Liepaja, Riga, in contrast to their opponent's recent struggles, approach this match with renewed confidence. For all that, their backline remains a concern, conceding goals in their last three away matches in a row.
This Virsliga encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Spartaks and Riga throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Spartaks’s attacking options, with Nunzio Zavettieri at the helm, have been bolstered by Olegs Laizans, the team’s top scorer, and Kwadwo Asamoah, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Laizans leads Spartaks’s scoring charts in Virsliga this season with six goals, while also being their most creative player, providing one assist in the league so far. Adding further support are Leonardo Gaucho, Arturs Ostapenko and Abiodun Ogunniyi, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
Meanwhile, Riga’s top finisher Gabriel da Penha Ramos and Marcelo Torres have played important roles in ensuring their attack, under Oleg Kubarev’s management, remains effective. Ramos has already scored nine goals in Virsliga this season, with Soisalo topping their assist tally in the competition with two. Riga’s offense has also been strengthened by Josepho Barnes, Yuri Kendysh and Oleksandr Filippov, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
