Video: “Jelgava” defeats Grobina, Dobretsova’s beautiful goal in the 90th minute is disallowed

This meant that the first round of the season was met by “Liepāja” in last place. “Grobiņa” managed to get the ball into the opponent’s goal in the 90th minute, but after using VAR, David Dobretsov’s goal was disallowed due to the back.

This was the second victory of the season for “Jelgava”, and the second in a row – until April 23, “Jelgava” had only losses and two draws, but then there were two games against teams from Kurzeme.

A few days ago we managed to beat “Liepāja” with 1:0, but today we followed with a success over “Grobiņas SC/LFS”.

This has pushed “Jelgavu” from the last place in the table to the seventh position in a few days. True, the results are close, and only one point separates the 7th and 10th place.

However, the fact is the fact – FK “Liepāja”, one of the teams that were among the favorites of the league before the start of the season, finished the first round of the Premier League in the last place, that is, in the relegation position.

“Grobiņa” was very close to retaliating at the end of the game and achieving a draw. After a cross in the penalty area, Markus Kruglaz threw the ball with his chest to David Dobretsov, who sent it beautifully into the goal from a distance.

However, the goal was disallowed after VAR was used because Kruglaž was in the back.

As a result, the main character of the match became the Nigerian player Joseph Ede, who scored both goals as part of Jelgava. It was his first goal in the Premier League.
