“Zeljko Gavric converted a penalty to give Győri ETO a 1-0 lead on the night, but crucially it was not enough to change the aggregate picture, with Riga still leading the tie overall.”
Pivotal“Substitute Caio Ferreira equalised in the 88th minute to make it 1-1 on the night, but with the tie already lost on aggregate, it amounted to little more than a consolation for Győri ETO.”
Pivotal“Three yellow cards in the final two minutes — for Caio, Márton Szép and Iago Siqueira — underlined the fractious atmosphere as tempers frayed with the tie slipping away from Győri ETO.”

Riga
Outstanding performance
Riga•DefenderRiga entered this second leg sitting comfortably with a 1-0 aggregate lead, and they played accordingly, controlling possession with 63% of the ball and launching 22 shots compared to Győri ETO's ten. The Hungarian side were always chasing the tie rather than the game, and Zeljko Gavric's penalty on 28 minutes — awarded after a corner sequence — only deepened the task ahead of them. Riga were the dominant force throughout, registering 11 corners to Győri's two and creating 68 dangerous attacks, yet their finishing let them down when it mattered, missing their one big chance. Győri showed some fighting spirit through their substitutes late on, with Caio levelling on 88 minutes to make it 1-1 on the night, but the equaliser came far too late and the aggregate deficit meant Riga progressed 2-1 on aggregate, ending Győri ETO's Conference League campaign at this stage.
