After five matches in Latvia, with just one win and four losses, few in this Baltic state believed that Auda had hit the jackpot by bringing in a new coach from Slovenia. However, Zoran Zeljković remained calm, as if he knew things would soon improve. And even in his wildest dreams, it couldn’t have been as good as it actually is. Auda is smashing all opposition, as the Latvian top-flight team celebrated its – believe it or not – ninth consecutive victory on Thursday!
To make the satisfaction even greater, Auda achieved its ninth win in a row in the third round of qualifying for the Conference League. Zoran Zeljković led his team into the first of two battles against Drita, a club from Kosovo, which was considered the favorite on paper. But Auda didn’t back down; they were solid at the back and good enough in attack to score a goal. The goal came in the eighth minute, with Portuguese defender Bruno Tavares finding the net. Auda deservedly celebrated the win, having been the better team and creating more chances than the visitors (12:5).
Whether this slim advantage will be enough will be seen next week, but Zoran Zeljković, former coach of Koper and Olimpija, has already secured his place in Auda’s history. This is Auda’s first European campaign, and they have only ever won in Europe under the guidance of the Slovenian expert.
