BATE — Neman

The Yellow-Blues leave no chances to Neman in the second leg of the Belarusian Cup quarterfinal. The team of Aliaksandr Yermakovich strolled convincingly to the win, scoring two beautiful goals right after the break. Vitali Radzionau netted the opener after a perfect pass by Ihar Stasevich, who did not switch off in a difficult situation.

Just in less then ten minutes it became 2-0 for BATE when a perfect combination featuring Yauheni Yablonski and Vitali Radzionau crowned by a cool-blooded finish by Mikhail Hardzeichuk.

This goalscoring spell was a fair continuation of a well-played first half in which BATE demonstrated spark and high energy completely demolishing the opponents. What was lacking were the last pass and a good last shot. Clean sheet in the first half cost Neman all their attacking opportunities burnt down to single man actions that sank in the middle of the pitch. BATE goalkeeper Siarhei Chernik had quite a peaceful evening with not much to do.

With the game seemingly irretrievable Neman started to feel more free up front making a goal fairly open. BATE coaching teased Neman with two youngsters appearing in the pitch, namely Uladzislau Klimovich and Aliaksandr Jyhera. For the latter that was the first ever start in the first team that eventually resulted in a win.

However, Neman got their bit of pride when scored a late goal after a corner. Zabelin was the lucky man in the air heading the ball right into the goal.

That drew a line after quite an entertaining game. BATE will face FC Dinamo Minsk, FC Shakthyor Soligorsk or FC Dinamo Brest in the semifinals.

Aliaksandr YERMAKOVICH (FC BATE Borisov):
- I would like to congratulate all people who supported us with this win and semifinal reached. Up to 2-0 score I was satisfied with the game. We controlled the game and had the opportunity to test our youngsters. They were not perfect of course. But I have more to reprimand the whole team. I want the players not to stop playing to the end. If we do it at 2-0, this is really not good on our side.

Sergei SOLODOVNIKOV (FC Neman Grodno):
- I did not support BATE, but would like to congratulate the opponents. This is a Cup game and it has a strategy. We started well in the first half, tried to be very precise in defence. In the second half we had to score. And BATE used the spaces we opened really well. I liked how we played in the second half. Unfortunately the team is really inexperienced, but I see a lot of positive things. We will concentrate on the championship games.
