Latvia suffered a 1-2 defeat at home against Montenegro in their UEFA Nations League clash. Despite creating numerous chances, the team led by Paolo Nicolato struggled with finishing—Robert Uldrikis alone missed several clear opportunities, and the ball repeatedly struck the goal frame.
The visitors took an early lead in the 3rd minute through Vasilije Adžić, who doubled his tally in the second half. Latvia managed to break their scoring drought in the 82nd minute when Markuss Strods netted his first goal for the national team. However, the hosts were unable to avoid defeat in the closing stages of the match.
