On Saturday, in round 28 of the "Tonybet" Latvian football top division, home side Grobiņa defeated Daugavpils 1-0 (0-0) in a match played in Liepāja.

The first half ended goalless. The breakthrough came in the 75th minute, when, following a throw-in, Artjoms Puzirevskis fought off a defender to set up Milan Corrin inside the penalty area, and the Belgian striker converted the chance cleanly. Corrin later found the net again, but the goal was disallowed for offside, leaving the scoreline unchanged until the final whistle.
