Rigas Futbola Skola (RFS) continued their strong form in the Latvian Higher League with a comfortable 3–1 away win over Grobiņa on June 13, 2026. The result keeps RFS in the title race, while Grobiņa remain in the bottom half of the table.

Match Summary

The visitors took control early, with midfielder Artūrs Zjuzins opening the scoring in the 12th minute with a precise long-range strike. RFS doubled their lead just before the half-hour mark, when striker Elvis Stuglis headed home from a corner. Grobiņa showed fight and pulled one back in the 38th minute through a deflected shot from forward Raimonds Krollis, making it 2–1 at half-time.

Second Half Decider

RFS regained their two-goal cushion early in the second half. A swift counter-attack ended with Stuglis slotting in his second of the match, making it 3–1. Grobiņa pushed for a second goal but found the RFS defense well organized. The home side had a goal disallowed for offside in the 68th minute, and RFS saw out the remainder of the game with ease.

Player of the Match

Elvis Stuglis was the standout performer, scoring twice and causing constant problems for the Grobiņa defense. His movement and finishing were key to RFS’s victory.

Table Implications

With the win, RFS move into second place in the Latvian Higher League, three points behind leaders Valmiera. Grobiņa remain in seventh place, but their relegation fears are eased slightly with several teams below them. RFS will look to close the gap on Valmiera when they host Spartaks next weekend.

What It Means

RFS showed their quality and resilience on the road. Grobiņa can take heart from their first-half performance but will need to tighten up defensively if they hope to climb the standings.
