# Riga Futsal Club edge Dinamo in Zagreb test
The pre-season friendly match between **Riga Futsal Club** and **MNK Futsal Dinamo** saw Croatian hosts twice fight back from behind, but Riga ultimately held on to secure a 3–2 victory. Their quality, depth and composure in key moments highlighted why the Latvian champions are a force on the continental stage.

Riga created their first chance in the fourth minute when new signing **Bruno Coelho** combined with captain **Ricardinho Vargas**, though the shot flew over. Minutes later, they took the lead unexpectedly as **Vlads Rimkus** struck directly from a quickly taken corner. Dinamo pressed for an equaliser, but Riga’s attack continued to threaten through Rimkus and **Daniel Da Silva**.

In the second half, Riga’s Brazilian goalkeeper **De Souza** made his mark at both ends. After saving well, he spotted Dinamo’s keeper off his line and launched a precise long-range strike that found the net, extending Riga’s advantage. Even as Dinamo levelled at 2–2 through **Mihovil Prgomet** in the 28th minute, Riga showed their experience. With five minutes remaining, **Pilipčuks** delivered a clever assist and **Gregolon Marqua** finished with a deft backheel to restore the lead at 3–2.

Dinamo pushed hard in the closing stages, even using a flying goalkeeper, but Riga’s defence stood firm. The final whistle confirmed a narrow but impressive win for the Latvians, underlining their reputation as one of Europe’s elite futsal outfits.
