Super Nova II control the contest from the start

Second-half seal and defensive solidity

The second half followed a similar pattern, with SK Super Nova II looking dangerous on the counter-attack. They doubled their lead midway through the period after a swift transition caught the Ventspils back line out of position. From there, the visitors managed the game effectively, keeping possession and limiting their hosts to speculative efforts from distance.
