With Renārs Varslavāns out for an extended period, Auda needed someone to step up in midfield, and Kemehlo Nguena did just that. In the 23rd minute, he received a pass from Birka, took one touch to position himself, and struck a powerful shot from outside the box into the top right corner, leaving the Jelgava goalkeeper with no chance. Auda continued to create opportunities but the Jelgava goalkeeper remained firm. FS Jelgava’s best chance came in the second half when 18-year-old Nigerian Victor Promise, making his debut for the club, showcased fantastic individual skill to set up Rihards Bečers. However, Bečers’ shot from about 15 meters went wide. In the closing moments of the game, Auda scored an insurance goal. Once again, Emīls Birka was key, delivering a cross from a set-piece that was met by Deniss Meļņiks, who scored his first goal of the season. With this win, FK Auda has now won two consecutive matches and has caught up with FK Liepāja in the league standings. Meanwhile, FS Jelgava remains in search of its first victory of the season, sitting on just two points after four games. In their next match on Friday, FK Auda will travel to Daugavpils to face BFC Daugavpils, while FS Jelgava will host SK Super Nova the following day. ****FK Auda vs FS Jelgava – 2:0 (1:0)** **Goals:**** Nguena 23′, Meļņiks 87′ **Yellow Card:** Monteiro 58′ | Muhammad 56′, Penkevics 71′, Holoubek 81′ **AUD:** Matrevics – Hrvoj (Novikovs 46′), Meļņiks, Pontelo, Birka – Kragļiks – Clemente (Wassom 87′), Ogunniyi (Traore 87′), Nguena – Jeudi (Monteiro 25′), Rubenis (Kone 64′) **JEL:** Dvorak – Emenike (Campos 67′), Veips (Ivanovs 46′), Yuzvak – Pētersons, Penkevics, Holoubek, Muhammad – Promise (Kasica 67′), Bečers, Boroduška
