In a competitive match against the seasoned Slovak team, the Latvian mixed curling team made an impressive start by winning the first end 2-0, despite the last stone advantage belonging to their opponents. In the second end, Latvian players Linda Meijere and Sergejs Djačenko executed precise shots, forcing Slovakia to search for countermeasures that were not always accurate. Latvia maintained their lead by securing another point, increasing their score to 3-0.

The match saw both teams struggling to place their stones in the house during the third end, but Slovakia had a chance for a significant four-point gain. However, they botched their last shot, resulting in a one-point loss instead, which allowed Latvia to extend their lead to 4-0. The fourth end was tightly contested, but Latvia managed to earn another point, leading 5-0 at the halfway point of the match.

After struggling in the fifth end, where Slovakia failed to regain momentum, Djačenko executed a tactical shot that removed two opponent stones from the house, which contributed to Slovakia’s continued difficulties, evidenced by player Peter Zatko's mistakes, ultimately sealing the victory for Latvia. This strong performance not only underscores Latvia's skill in the sport but also boosts their confidence going into subsequent matches of the tournament.
