Gintra-Universitetas

Match report

Gintra-Universitetas saw off Riga 4-1 in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League, the match ending 4-1 on 8 August 2026. The hosts struck twice in the opening six minutes through L. L. Ribeiro and K. Z. Brima and never looked back. Riga pulled one back through K. Pereviznyk before M. Yancey restored the three-goal cushion late on.

Gintra's early dominance set the template. They registered 77 attacks to Riga's 69 and hit the target eight times, while the visitors managed just three shots on target. Riga held 60 per cent possession but could not turn control into clear chances, and their shots accuracy sat at 30 per cent.

Substitutions began in the 46th minute when Riga brought on L. Steinberga and A. Hakasalo, hoping to shift the momentum. Gintra responded with a change of their own, removing L. L. Ribeiro after her goal. The hosts added a third through S. Amorim in the 52nd minute before Pereviznyk's reply five minutes later briefly stirred the visitors.

A yellow card for A. Mikutaite in stoppage time was the only disciplinary incident. Gintra made three substitutions of their own — Ribeiro off in the 68th minute, then two more in the second half — while Riga shuffled their side repeatedly, bringing on N. Preijere, N. Taketa, R. Gaugere and M. Galkina.

The result extends Gintra-Universitetas' progress in the qualifying stages after a mixed run of results, including a 1-2 defeat to Hearts and a 2-1 win over Farul Constanta. Riga's recent form has been inconsistent, with three victories in five but also heavy losses to Koge and Racing. The visitors had already won 4-1 twice before this fixture, but could not replicate that efficiency here.
