Player ratings

A brace, and Igors Bulvitis takes the afternoon — 8.96

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Igors Bulvitis provided it, and the 8.96 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match

Ventspils refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 19 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings

Vitalijs Ikaunieks runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Raivis Zjuzins gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

One of those days for Eduards Bulvitis

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.20, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Kaspars Stolcers stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kaspars Stolcers and Ventspils agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Loan watch

Kaspars Rugins wants to come home

“I did not go to Daugavpils to sit and watch. I want to come back to Ventspils and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 21 matches say the rest.

Match

Igors Bulvitis rescues a point for Ventspils

It needed Igors Bulvitis to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Skonto, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Raivis Zjuzins

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Raivis Zjuzins has come out of that comparison in the side, and Ventspils have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad

Words at Ventspils training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Igors Bulvitis 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Ventspils

Pavels Oss 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.

Squad

Lourenço Teixeira signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lourenço Teixeira and Ventspils agree another 3 years.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Ventspils bow out of the cup

Daugavpils go through and Ventspils go home, 1‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings

A debut Dmitriy Tokarev will not forget — 7.24

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.24 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Market

Torpedo Moscow come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Ventspils did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Igors 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 Ventspils this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Pavels Ikaunieks gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Gatis Bulvitis signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gatis Bulvitis and Ventspils agree another 3 years.

Squad

Ventspils pick somebody else ahead of Marcis Jurkovskis

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market

No place for Kristaps Fertovs in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Kristaps Fertovs has his answer from Ventspils; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Zsombor Gruber arrives on loan

Ventspils have taken Zsombor Gruber on loan from Ferencvaros — cover where cover was needed.
