The last time the Latvians did not play in the continental championships was in 1999, when the championship took place in France.
Artur Škelė was still able to save Robert Štelmaheris’s skin, but his last shot with the siren did not reach the goal.
The Bulgarians had also won their first match of 110: 104.
Bulgaria returns to the European Championship for the first time since 2011, when the championship took place in Lithuania.
An important victory in Group D was achieved by the Dutch national team, who beat the Croats who had already secured a ticket in Istanbul by 65:57.
This victory opened the way for the Dutch to the final stage and saved the Turkish coat. They will also play in the Euro Cup next year, and the Swedes have been overboard, even if they beat the Netherlands in the final match.
Former Panevėžys Lietkabelis striker Željko Šakičius was Croatia’s most productive player (17 points).
The British team also took a strong step towards the European Championship, breaking Germany in Podgorica 83: 81.
The British are now left with a French victory over Montenegro in the Western Match and will travel to the continental championships together with the Germans and the French.
It will be recalled that the European Championship, which will be postponed to next year due to a coronavirus pandemic, will be held in Sakartvele, Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic.
In addition to the teams from these four countries, Croatia, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel, Spain, Slovenia, Ukraine, Serbia, Russia, Finland, Poland, Hungary, Belgium, Bulgaria, Holland and Turkey also have priority tickets.
