Player ratings29 Mar 2027

Vladimirs Gabovs runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Žan-Luk Leban keeps Spartaks in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market29 Mar 2027

Kristaps Gabovs puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Spartaks, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Zinedin Smajlović falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match27 Mar 2027

Spartaks see off Jelgava

Three points for Spartaks, 1‑0 the final word against Jelgava in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Eduards Bulvitis in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Spartaks this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Aleksandrs Jurkovskis

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch29 Mar 2027

Davis Laizans wants to come home

“I did not go to Metta/LU to sit and watch. I want to come back to Spartaks and fight for my place.” 3 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Player ratings29 Mar 2027

Nothing got past Zinedin Smajlović

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 12 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad15 Mar 2027

Shaxzod Shaymanov breaks a bone — 90 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Reinis Reinholds keeps Metta/LU in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings15 Mar 2027

A hand in 2 of them from Rodrigo Mosqueda — 7.88

Marked 7.88. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Rodrigo Mosqueda in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Metta/LU this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match13 Mar 2027

Metta/LU find a way past Jelgava

Jelgava made Metta/LU work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad15 Mar 2027

Words at Metta/LU training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gianluca Scremin is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Metta/LU

Rodrigo Mosqueda was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at Metta/LU training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivo Minkevičs is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
