Super Nova edged past Tukums 1:0 in the Virsliga's regular season round 30 on 10 September 2026. The hosts held on for a narrow win that keeps them in sixth place. By then, the tension had built through the second half as both sides pushed for something more.
K. Romanovs got over the line in the 77th minute, and that proved decisive. And here's the thing — Super Nova had created two big chances but only converted one. The visitors offered little in return, registering just one shot on target all evening.
The match shifted after the 61st minute when Super Nova made three changes in quick succession. R. Kirss, K. Skadmanis and M. Derkach all came on, followed by Bamba at 69 and D. Valmiers at 73.
Super Nova dominated the numbers with 54 per cent possession and 111 attacks compared to Tukums' 106. They registered five shots on target against just one for the visitors, whose shots accuracy sat at a dismal 10 per cent. The hosts completed 370 passes while Tukums managed 303. To be fair — Tukums made 25 tackles to Super Nova's 18, suggesting they were chasing the game.
The win keeps Super Nova on 32 points from 27 games in sixth place, four clear of eighth. Tukums remain ninth on 23 points from 29 matches, with their winless run extending to five games without a victory. The visitors have now lost or drawn their last four league fixtures. R. Reingolcs picked up a yellow card in the 88th minute, the only booking of the match.
