Riga FC 3–0 Jelgava
Latvian Higher League | July 4, 2026

Riga FC delivered a dominant performance at the Skonto Stadium, cruising to a comfortable 3-0 win over Jelgava on Saturday. The victory strengthens Riga’s position near the top of the Latvian Higher League table as they chase silverware this season.

The home side took control early, with Dāvis Ikaunieks opening the scoring in the 14th minute after a fine solo run through the Jelgava defence. Riga doubled their lead just before the half-hour mark when Ivan Mance headed home from a corner, leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb.

Jelgava struggled to create clear chances against a well-organised Riga backline, and the match was effectively put to bed in the 68th minute. A swift passing move ended with Raimonds Krollis slotting in Riga’s third goal from close range.

The win extends Riga’s unbeaten home record and continues their push for the title. For Jelgava, the defeat highlights the gap between themselves and the league's elite teams, as they remain mid-table without a win in three matches.
