FC BATE — FC Neman

In comparison with the game against FC Belshina Bobruisk won last week, the coaching staff of BATE did not make any changes, copying the line-up from the 1-0 away win at Spartak Stadium.

BATE started well off from the very beginning. FC Neman Grodno had little chances of gaining possession as the Yellow Blues reigned in the midfield and set up several good efforts. And quickly the home side managed to play through massive Neman defense. Aliaksandr Paulau made a decent run into the box and was fouled by Anyukevich. The referee pointed at the 11-meter spot at once and Aliaksandr Hleb was confident in converting spot kick into a goal by cheating the goalkeeper easily.

After that the game was in full control of BATE. Aliaksandr Hleb was the true maestro in the midfield. BATE's No.13 made a lot of good runs and passes. Aliaksandr Paulau, nicknamed Belarusian Scholes, was also proactive and appeared everywhere to confuse the opponents. Vitali Haiduchyk made several good headers, but Chernik was stand-by in the goal

In the second half the Yellow Blues continued to press up. And Mikhail Sivakou and Pavel Niakhaichyk who appeared as substitutes. And the latter managed to give an assist for VItali Radzionau to continue his scoring strike. This time the Professor scored an astonishingly beautiful goal to satisfy every squeamish fan. He dribbled the goalkeeper to the goal line, and then curled the ball from a zero angle right into the corner in 78th minute.

In the remaining time the game was pacified. Neman managed to net a goal that was overruled due to offside.

BATE took important three points and continues the chase after Shakhtyor. Dinamo Brest will be the next opponents of the Yellow Bules next Saturday.

Viktar HANCHARENKA, FC BATE Borisov:
- I believe both teams played quite well today. The game was quite tough, there was suspense, a lot of tackles. And I am happy we took the three important points. I think it is the game itself, not the refereeing issues we are to concentrate on now. After the lost game in Grodno we were determined to win. We remembered that after that match we lost both Hleb and Radzionau, which was hard for us. And today at the end of the match we perhaps were even over-motivated. On the whole I liked the way we played, although probably we could have done everything quicker.

Vitali SOLODOVNIKOV, FC Neman Grodno:
- I do not like to comment on the referee, but the things he did today are just unbelievable. I haven't seen the penalty episode yet, but on the whole the ref prevented the teams from playing. Sometimes after such matches I want to stop coaching. On the whole I believe that is was a good game on both sides. We lacked sharpness in passes in the first half. Laczny was quite lonely upfront. We lost Denisevich and it is difficult to solve this problem, but we will try our best.
