Footballers “Minsk” won a major victory over “Naftan” in the national championship

In the match of the 21st round of BETERA - the Higher League of Belarus on football, Minsk on the road confidently defeated Novopolotsk Naftan - 3: 0, the correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency reports.

Teams haven't won in a long time. So, the capital club last won the championship on August 9, when on the road coped with Gomel (1: 0). After that, a series of three defeats in a row followed, and the team of Artem Chelyadinsky dropped to the eighth position. On the same day, success was celebrated by Naftan, who won against Arsenal (3: 0).

The Minskers started the match more actively. By the seventh minute they had organized two dangers at the gate of Denis Sadovsky. Alexander Xenophontov and Matar Dieye disturbed the goalkeeper of rivals with long shots. Sadovsky didn't flinch. Then a wave of attacks rolled towards the Minsk gates. So, Alexander Guthor had to stretch out in the string and hit the ball after the blow of Alexander Savitsky. A couple of minutes later, the gate guard of Minsk successfully chose a position and eliminated the threat from Marlene Aimanov. And yet the players of the capital club scored first. The team managed a simple three-movement - Xenophontov, Gleb Zherdev, Dieye. The Senegal forward beautifully outplayed the defender and goalkeeper, steering the ball into the top corner (1-0). This is the striker's third goal this season. Soon Dieye could make the score 2-0, but fell into the crossbar. Xenophontov had a chance, but Sadovsky took the shot.

In the second half, there were opportunities to score from some and others. Failed performance. In the 68th minute, Naftan got a great chance to recoup. Midfielder hosts Vadim Yakovlev shot down in the penalty “Minsk” – penalty. The 11-meter was going to perform Aimanov, but Ignat Pranovich took the initiative as captain. And I was wrong: the ball hit the crossbar. Guests punished the opponent for such extravagance. Yegor Zubovich, who came on as a replacement, twice upset Sadovsky. It's 3-0.
