Auda edges past Grobiņa to hold onto third place in Latvia's top league
Auda beat Grobiņa 1:0 in Riga on Sunday in round 29 of the Latvian football top league, extending its strong run of results and keeping third place in the standings.
Auda claimed a 1:0 home win over Grobiņa in Riga on Sunday in round 29 of the Tonybet Latvian football top league. The only goal came in the 77th minute when Grobiņa's own player, Rolands Baravīks, put the ball into his own net.
The win extended Auda's strong recent form — the team's last league defeat came at the end of June, and since then it has won four of six matches while drawing twice. Grobiņa, meanwhile, saw its five-match unbeaten run come to an end, a streak that had already been broken in the previous round against Daugavpils.
In earlier meetings this season between the two sides, Auda won 2:0 and 7:0, while their third encounter ended goalless. Auda also beat Grobiņa 3:2 after extra time in the Latvian Cup quarterfinal.
