It has already been reported that on Tuesday at the “Skonto” stadium in Riga, Latvia won 1:0 (0:0) over the Faroe Islands.
The goal was scored by Renārs Varslavāns.
“It wasn’t an easy night, but the good performance paid off,” says Nicolato.
“Especially the performance shown in the first half was very important. What was shown on the field was the result of our efforts to do our best,” says the Italian specialist.
He says that the 1:4 loss experienced in Armenia on Saturday was a “big disappointment”, but with a change of attitude in the game in Riga, a victory was earned and a performance that the team can be proud of.
The coach points out that not only the players and the coaching staff have contributed to the victory, but also the fans in the stands, and he also emphasizes that he is proud of the national team players.
On Saturday in Yerevan, the Latvian national team, making its debut in the UEFA Nations League C division, lost 1:4 to Armenia, while the Faroe Islands drew at home with North Macedonia (1:1).
In the first three seasons of the UEFA Nations League, the Latvian national team competed in the D League, from which they managed to get out in 2022, when they were defeated in the group with Moldova, Andorra and Liechtenstein. This year, the national team of Latvia has been drawn into the C4 group together with North Macedonia, Armenia and the Faroe Islands.
The winner of the group will enter the B league, but the owner of the last place will have to participate in the play-offs to keep the place in the C league.
