I am satisfied with the attitude of the players, also with the result

It has already been announced that the Latvian national team will be visiting Larnaca on Thursday with a score of 1:1 (0:1) and a draw against the home team of Cyprus.

In the 45th minute, Andrejs Cigaņiks earned the right to execute a penalty kick for the Latvian national team, but Vladislavs Gutkovskis did not realize it.

On the other hand, in the 85th minute, Ciganiks, for whom this was his 50th game in the Latvian national team, scored a draw.

“I am really satisfied with the attitude of the players in this game, also with the result,” the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) quoted Nikolato as saying.

“I would also like to highlight the fact that the team fought back during the game. The boys did a good job during this training camp and today they were rewarded for it,” the coach believes.

“Many things that we tried to achieve during the training process for three days were visible on the field, and I am really pleased that we managed to see a lot of what was planned on the field as well.”

The Latvian national team had 51% ball control in this match (57% in the second half). The team had several scoring opportunities that were not taken.

In total, in the match, the Latvian national team made seven shots, four of which were in the goal frame. Cyprus responded with nine shots, two of which were on target.

On March 26, the Latvian national team will play another test match in the Cypriot city of Larnaca, against the national team of Liechtenstein.

Cyprus ranks 125th in the FIFA ranking, Latvia ranks 136th, and Liechtenstein ranks 203rd in the competition of 210 nations.
