The Latvians are disappointed that RFS lost to the last team in the Europa League, which recorded its first win in the tournament during this match. They hoped that their club would at least manage a draw against Shovkovskiy's team, as Dynamo is in a playing crisis, while RFS managed to defeat Ajax in the previous round. However, overall, the Latvians are grateful for the season that has quite ended, and thank the team for making it to the group stage of the Europa League and performing decently there. They hope that next season RFS will perform even better.
Raitins: If RFS had a good forward with great speed and technique, the match result would have been different. We need to work more on the African market and look for players there, as only in Africa can we buy inexpensive yet interesting footballers.
Svipsta: It was an interesting season. I want to believe that our club will return to European tournaments next summer. Perhaps one day RFS will even qualify for the group stage of the Champions League.
Lukins: In principle, this defeat is more of an accident. I can't say that Dynamo played any good or thoughtful football. That goal they scored was random after a series of ricochets.
Eriks: It's a pity that Dynamo got its first victory in the group stage precisely in the match against RFS in the last round. We lost to the worst team in the Europa League, which is very sad.
Krumins: The final result means nothing. Dynamo is already in the past; the future belongs to Latvian football. Just 5 years ago, no one could have imagined that Ukrainian and Latvian clubs would play together in the group stage. Now we not only play on equal terms with the Ukrainians but also finish higher.
Polkane: Who would have told me even a year ago that RFS would be upset after a minimal defeat to Dynamo? Just recently, this seemed fantastic, but now we can say that we are already dissatisfied with our performance against the Ukrainians and claim for more.
Alberts: Summarizing the season, I just want to say thank you to the team for this fairytale. We could have played better in some matches; in others, we were luckier than our opponents. Overall, we played as we deserved. The team needs to gain experience at such a level to compete for more.
Zemitis: Thank you for a fantastic season. Let’s not look back and not blame the team for unsuccessful matches, but simply say thank you for playing in the group stage of the Europa League. Earlier, we could only meet teams like Dynamo, Ajax, and Galatasaray in qualifying.
Indulis: It's a strange feeling when the season ends not in November but in January. It's hard to imagine how the team must have prepared under such conditions. Instead of a vacation, the team worked out in the gym and kicked the ball around. But this did not prevent our players from performing decently in the Europa League.
Straume: The team shouldn’t be ashamed of such a loss. We played practically on par with Dynamo, had chances to score, but ultimately conceded due to our defensive mistakes. Still, Dynamo has high-class players, even if the club is in crisis.
Normunds: For those who were born after the collapse of the USSR, this match had no hidden meaning. Just a match against a club that was once at a high level but is now in crisis. Probably, it is normal that young people do not closely follow history and do not know how Ukrainian and Latvian clubs used to battle each other.
Rinalds: It’s a pity not that we lost to Dynamo, but because we were at fault. It’s a pity that this was the last team in the standings. And our club gave them their first victory in the group stage.
Sulca: Disappointment. Allowing a draw in such a match is simply unacceptable. We had the opportunity to punish a weak Dynamo, but we outplayed ourselves. We should have played more boldly against the Ukrainians, but we chose to play defensively again. What was the point?
Jurgis: It wasn’t a defeat; it was a lost draw! Dynamo was far from stronger, but we lacked coolness and experience at crucial moments. A point could have been easily taken.
Niemanis: It's a pity we couldn't win against Dynamo. For those who were born in the USSR, this match was very important. There was hope that RFS would be able to beat the Ukrainians today and prove that our football is indeed progressing rapidly.
Dizperitis: Awful ending to attacks! We didn't deserve to lose, but if you can't score, it will be like this. We need to work on our finishing; otherwise, such matches will become a habit.
Gediminas: I can't believe we lost to Dynamo... We played well, had moments, but in the end, we lost to a team that had previously been unable to beat anyone. A terrible feeling.
Kamess: A frustrating defeat... We could have at least snatched a draw, but we lacked accuracy in finishing. Dynamo showed nothing special, but they realized their moment, and we did not.
Mite: Why do we keep dropping points in such matches? This was an opponent that could and should have been beaten, but we make life difficult for ourselves. A draw would have been a fair result.
Helvijs: We simply gifted Dynamo their first victory… They had nothing going before this, but we happened to be the club that decided to help them get out of the crisis. But still, thank you to the team for this amazing season.
