Auda claimed a 2:3 victory over Daugavpils in the semi-finals of the Cup on 2 September 2026. The result sends the visitors through to the final, while Daugavpils' campaign comes to an end. By then, the visitors had already shown they could handle pressure — they'd beaten Liepāja 1:0 and Tučums 3:0 in their previous two outings.
Daugavpils came into this match with mixed recent form. They'd won three of their last five games, including a 3:1 victory against Ogre United, but they'd also lost 0:1 to Grobiņa on 29 August. To be fair, they'd kept a clean sheet against Super Nova, which suggested defensive resilience.
Auda's run looked sharper. They'd beaten Tučums 3:0 and Grobiņa 3:2, though that heavy 0:4 defeat to Dinamo Tirana on 13 August hung over them. The visitors needed the points badly — and they closed the game out when it mattered most.
Without minute-by-minute details, the pattern emerges from the scoreline itself. Daugavpils found the net twice but couldn't hold on. Auda let the game flow, taking their chances. The academy graduates in both squads will be watching closely to see who learned from this encounter.
The semi-final exit leaves Daugavpils four matches from their last five without a win — the Grobiņa loss, the Super Nova draw, and now this defeat. Auda extend their unbeaten run to three, and that streak carries them into the final where the stakes are higher still.
