South Kurzeme catches luck by the tail in the final seconds and makes it to the final

FK South Kurzeme just proved that in football, it doesn't matter how you play for 89 minutes and 47 seconds if in the final 13 seconds you become the main character of a Hollywood film. In the semifinal match against TEM/Rūre, they staged such a final-minute show that even the Liepāja wind — that legendary, uninvited guest of every season — fell silent so as not to miss anything.

While people in Riga are still thinking about what to do with their free time, Liepāja footballers demonstrate that drama is our city's average Monday evening. A minute before the end, TEM/Rūre was leading 5:4, and everyone thought we'd see a different team in the final. But South Kurzeme decided they liked tension more than calmly waiting for victory.

Special praise goes to Armands Žigus, who with an own goal proved that you can be creative even in your own goal scoring. As one fan said: "We thought he was playing against us, but it turned out he just wanted to make the game more interesting."

In the final, South Kurzeme will face Liepāja Beach Cafe, who made it to the final thanks to FK Nīca/OtankiMill's withdrawal. It's one of those situations where you're preparing for an exam, but it turns out the teacher forgot and automatically gives you an A. The match will take place Saturday at 6 PM at LOC, and since this is Liepāja, it will be interesting to see if the wind will also participate as an extra player.
