Europa League: Eintracht Frankfurt secured their second win of the Europa League third round with a 1-0 victory over Riga, thanks to a goal from substitute Hugo Larsson.

In a quiet first half, the Eagles controlled possession but struggled to create clear scoring opportunities. Riga remained well-organized defensively, keeping Frankfurt away from their goal.

The visitors had the first chance in the 15th minute when Adam Markhiyev shot wide from a promising position. Frankfurt responded quickly with a counterattack, but Omar Marmoush's shot from a tight angle was saved by Riga goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa, reports Xinhua.
