Riga FC initially dominated the match, netting two goals in the first half, with their initial goal scored at 17 minutes and 45 seconds after the kickoff. Their offensive strategy and constant pressure resulted in their third goal shortly after the start of the second half, at 50 minutes and 25 seconds, indicating a strong attacking momentum that Metta struggled to manage.

FK Metta's attempts to claw back into the game saw them score two goals in the second half, narrowing the gap significantly but ultimately unable to secure a draw. Their first goal came soon after Riga's third at 53 minutes and 24 seconds, displaying their capacity to respond under pressure. The match statistics further demonstrate Metta's challenges with attacking opportunities; they only managed three corner kicks compared to Riga's dominant ten, underscoring Riga’s territorial advantage and ability to impose themselves in key areas of the pitch.

Defensively, Riga maintained discipline throughout with zero yellow cards, contrasting significantly with FK Metta, who received a yellow card in the second half at 58 minutes and 37 seconds. This discipline might have contributed to their ability to maintain composure during crucial phases. Metta's singular caution highlights a moment where their defensive line could have been more destabilized or stretched, possibly influencing their ability to mitigate Riga’s counterattacks and eventual goal acquisitions. Thus, the combination of Riga's dominant corner kick figures, disciplined defense, and effective first-half performance were pivotal in safeguarding their lead and ultimately delivering them the victory.
