Žiga Lipušček is living his dream in Latvia. The former Slovenian youth international is the captain of the RFS club from Riga, and in his jersey, he has won three trophies. Now, he has also achieved a historic victory in Europe. On Wednesday, in the third round of Europa League qualifying, RFS played against the Andorran club UE Santa Coloma, defeating them 7-0 and eliminating them with an aggregate score of 9-0. This means that RFS has already achieved what it has only done once before: with its biggest European victory in history, it has secured a place in international competition in the fall.
Žiga Lipušček played an important role in advancing to the final round of Europa League qualifying, serving as captain in both matches against the Andorrans. He played 90 minutes in the first match and 45 in the second, and in front of his home crowd, he even scored a goal in the 17th minute to make it 3-0. Given that RFS scored five goals in the first half, coach Viktors Morozs kept three key players, including the former Maribor prospect, in the locker room during the break.
While RFS has already secured a place in the group stage of the Conference League, they will face a club with another Slovenian player in the final hurdle to the Europa League. The Latvians will clash with Cypriot champions APOEL, where national team goalkeeper Vid Belec plays. Belec had to concede in the third round of Champions League qualifying to Kenan Bajrić from the ranks of Bratislava’s Slovan.
