After the defeat of Albania in the first round (0: 2), our team built a four-game unbeaten series against Finland (0: 0, 1: 0) and San Marino (4: 0, 2: 0). However, the group stage for the Belarusian squad ended just as it began: with a failure in the competition with the Albanians.

The authors of the goal captures in today’s match were Rei Manai (28th minute) and Elseid Husai (57).

Belarusians had enough chances to distinguish themselves. But not a single moment in the attack was realized.

In another meeting of the sixth round in our group, the Finns defeated the San Marino team in Helsinki - 7: 2.
