• Serbian winger Dragoļub Savić scored the winning goal for the team coached by Viktor Moroza already in the fourth minute of the game.
• Ten minutes later, Savic successfully passed to Emerson, who made it 2-0.
• In the 28th and 30th minutes, RFS broke the defense of Jelgava two more times. Darko Lemajić was the first to score, but two minutes later Robert Savalnieks made a precise shot, who also made a pass for the third goal.
• In the second half, the momentum of the RFS attack slowed down, as the home team scored only one goal – Darko Lemajić scored in the 69th minute duplicates and made it 5-0.
• At the end of regular time, the hosts failed to keep their fortress intact. Ralf Shityakov was left uncovered in the penalty area and beat Yevgenia Nerugal – 5:1.
• Shityakov’s goal in the 87th minute became the first that “Jelgava” scored in five matches in the Premier League against RFS.
• The 2023 Premier League champions celebrated their third win in the last four games. “Jelgava” footballers, on the other hand, have the third failure in four matches.
• The main referee of the game, Vasiliys Mordatenko, did not show a single card during the whole match – which happened for the first time in the Premier League this season.
