Riga FC fell behind in the opening phase, where the score was 0-1. The next phase finished 1-1, before the hosts produced a 4-0 score in extra time. That sequence transformed a contest that had been close across the initial phases into a three-goal victory. Extra time proved decisive: the hosts won that phase 4-0 and finished with a 5-2 result.
The match highlights were Vardar's 0-1 opening score, the 1-1 second phase and Riga's four-goal extra-time surge. Those score stats provide the clearest summary of the result: Vardar resisted through the first two phases, but Riga FC controlled the decisive passage and closed out the UEFA Conference League match by three goals. The scoreline was narrow until extra time, then emphatic.
