Latvian club set new European record
Latvia’s Skonto Riga set a new European record yesterday when they secured their 14th consecutive domestic league title.
Skonto moved back ahead of Norwegian club Rosenborg BK who recently clinched their 13th national title.
They went in to the final round of matches three points ahead of nearest challengers FHK Liepajas Metalurgs and more than won the point they needed with a 6-0 hammering of SK Ditton Daugavpils.
On Monday, the Latvia Football Federation revealed that Skonto coach Jurijs Andrejevs is likely to succeed Aleksandrs Starkovs as the country’s national coach.
