Liepaja vs FK Dečić

FK Liepaja pulled off a remarkable 1-0 win against Decic in the opening leg of their UEFA Conference League qualifying tie on July 9, producing a heroic rearguard display at Daugava Stadium. The Latvian side were handed an almighty task when centre-back Marvin Martins was given his marching orders for violent conduct in just the 21st minute. Decic exploited the man advantage to dominate — controlling 63% of possession and registering 11 shots — but couldn't find a way through. Then, against the run of play, Ede Oloko tucked away a 64th-minute finish set up by Amar Haïdara to give the ten-man hosts a shock lead. Decic head into the second leg in Montenegro knowing they squandered a golden opportunity, while FK Liepaja carry a precious 1-0 advantage into the return, against all the odds.
