FC BATE — FC Minsk

In comparison with the match in Brest last week, BATE coaching staff made two changes. Edhar Aliakhnovich and Aliaksandr Paulau were replaced by Maksim Valadzko and Dzmitry Baha. Both were quite active at the beginning of the game. Valadzko was especially active.

BATE scored their first goal in the middle of the first half. Dzianis Paliakou made a perfect cross into the box for Vitali Radzionau to head for 1-0.

Soon the Yellow Blues were about to score the second goal. Hleb gave a perfect pass to Dzmitry Baha who got a one in one opportunity against Bushma but failed to score, giving to much time for the keeper to think. Soon Baha was substituted due to an injury, but his successor in the pitch Pavel Niakhaichyk was not less dangerous. BATE attacked a lot while Minsk answered with a couple of attacks and poorly prepared shots.

In the second time Minsk tried to attacked more, but this only enabled BATE to play on counterattacks. And the Yellow Blues created several outstanding goalscoring opportunities including three woodwork attempts. Mikhail Sivakou and Maksim Valadzko used free kicks to trouble the crossbar and Vitali Radzionau was close to second header-goal but hit the post.

Aliaksandr Hleb was outstanding again with amazing dribbling shows and fantastic passes. And Pavel Niakhaichyk had four fantastic opportunities to score, but missed all the chances narrowly.

Nevertheless BATE grabbed three important points and now has to concentrate on the UEFA Champions League 2^nd qualifying round first leg against FC Shahter Karagandy, which is scheduled for next Tuesday at Borisov Gorodskoi stadium.

Viktar HANCHARENKA, FC BATE Borisov Head Coach:
- In the first half the game was more closed although we scored a goal. And after the break we had to get the second goal not to be nervous in the very ending. We had opportunities for that, but failed to make it 2-0. I want the team to move more. But anyway we had to save energy before the Champions League. We made substitutions in order to give some rest to our best players. But that did not influence the result as we have fantastic squad with a lot of good players on the bench. So there was no risk at all.

Vadzim SKRYPCHANKA, FC Minsk Head Coach:
- One mistake cost a lot for us. One bad clearance meant the central defenders could not have taken the right position and Radzionau punished us. Nevertheless we will not panic and continue preparing for the European matches against Valetta. These matches are important and we look forward to it. Hopefully we will represent the country well.
