RFS secured a narrow 1-0 victory over FS Jelgava in the 23rd round of the Tonybet Virslīga on Saturday. The only goal of the match was scored by forward Mamadou Silla, a former BFC Daugavpils player.

Throughout the game, RFS dominated possession, but Jelgava repeatedly threatened the home team's goal. In one crucial moment, a shot that seemed destined for the back of the net struck the crossbar, sparing RFS from conceding. That event proved decisive, as Jelgava failed to convert their chances.

The win helps RFS solidify their position in the league standings, while Jelgava continues its battle for survival. The match proceeded without major surprises, and the result reflected the events on the pitch.
