# Riga FC rally past Super Nova to keep title race alive
Riga FC came from behind to beat Super Nova 2-1 at the Skonto Stadium, moving within one point of Virsliga leaders RFS and keeping the title race open. RFS, however, have a game in hand. The win ended Riga’s run of three matches without victory at the venue.

Super Nova took the lead midway through the first half when Raivis Ķirš fired a loose ball under the crossbar after Riga failed to clear a set-piece. The visitors defended their advantage until the 68th minute, when Iago Siqueira struck from distance to level the score.

Riga completed the comeback seven minutes later. Raki Aouani delivered a cross and Mohamed Badamosi turned it in from close range for his 22nd league goal of the season. Riga made seven changes to their starting line-up between European matches, while Super Nova made four after a 4-0 defeat by RFS.
