Raivis Jurkovskis was instrumental in the win, delivering a precise cross for the opening goal and scoring the second himself.** Riga took the lead in the 19th minute. Jurkovskis sent in a cross from the right, and while Reginaldo Ramires misfired an attempted bicycle kick, Iago Siqueira was well-positioned behind him and headed the ball home for a 1-0 advantage. It was the Brazilian’s second goal in the Virslīga. The visitors doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time. Brian Peña split the defense with a sharp through ball to Jurkovskis, who accelerated into the box and fired a left-footed shot into the near corner to make it 2-0. Riga’s defense remained solid throughout the match, conceding few chances. National team goalkeeper Krišjānis Zviedris had a quiet afternoon, with Grobiņa unable to pose a significant threat. Riga last failed to win on April 8 in a 1-1 draw against Metta. Their only defeat of the season came on March 29 in a 1-2 home loss to Daugavpils. Up next is a highly anticipated top-of-the-table clash**,** as Riga FC will host second-place and reigning champions RFS in four days’ time in the big Rīga derby. **FK Grobiņa vs Riga FC – 0:2 (0:2)** **Goals:** Siquiera 19′, Jurkovskis 45’+1 **GRO**: Pinčuks, Džeriņš, Sidorovs, Tchamba (Leitāns 66′), Fjodorovs, Družiņins, Krautmanis (Bethers 73′), Bekili, Raščevskis (Kalmarzy 82′), Sdagui, Dobrecovs (Borisovs 82′) **RIG:** Zviedris, Ngom, Ankrah, Jurkovskis, Eduardo, Ngonda, Siqueira (Ibrahim 87′), Ramires (Regža 80′), Grimaldo (Contreras 70′), Diop (Dašķevičs 80′), Pena (Mankenda 70′) **Virslīga Matchday 17 games:** - 13.06.2025 – FK Tukums 2000 vs FK Auda – **2:4** - 13.06.2025 – FK Liepāja vs BFC Daugavpils – **1:1** - 13.06.2025 – FS Jelgava vs FK Metta – **2:1** - 14.06.2025 – FK Grobiņa vs Riga FC – **0:2** - 14.06.2025 – FC RFS vs SK Super Nova – **20:00**
