Auda secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Tukums in the Virsliga regular season on 21 August, moving further clear in third place. The hosts controlled proceedings from the opening whistle, with possession figures of 72 per cent reflecting their territorial dominance.
A. Appiah opened the scoring in the 29th minute, capitalising on sustained pressure in Tukums' half. The visitors had a chance to respond but D. Valmiers' effort was correctly cancelled by VAR in the 43rd minute, leaving Tukums to chase the game.
J. Minins doubled Auda's lead shortly after the interval in the 64th minute, before K. Kone added a third in the 69th to settle any lingering uncertainty. Three substitutions for Auda in the 63rd minute suggested the coaching staff had already secured the result.
Shot accuracy tells the story of the evening. Auda registered five shots on target from eleven attempts, while Tukums managed just two efforts on goal from two attempts. The visitors created no big chances and completed only 38 passes into the final third compared to Auda's 81.
The result leaves Auda on 53 points from 27 games, three wins from matching their previous season's tally. Tukums remain nine points adrift of safety after 28 matches, with only four victories to their name all season.
