BATE — Torpedo-BelAZ

No goals were scored in local derby of Borisov and Zhodino as both teams failed to find the net at Torpedo stadium. The Yellow-Blues had one hundred per cent opportunity in the dying seconds when substitute Mikalai Sihnevich hit the crossbar after a cross by Ihar Stasevich.

On the whole the Yellow-Blues fully controlled the game, but did not deliver a lot of good chances. In the first half Aliaksandr Karnitski was the the closest to the breaking goal when he shot the rebound from outside the box. But ex-BATE goalkeeper Pavel Chasnouski managed a good save to cancel this opportunity. Zhodino struck back with a good header from another former BATE player and hall-of-famer Artsiom Kantsavy. Torpedo forward missed inches after a good cross.

In the second half Kantsavy, who had his birthday on the day, produced another heart-breaking header for the Yellow-Blues fans, but missed narrowly again.

The Borisovites put a lot of pressure on the opponents in the second half. Torpedo-BelAZ had to defend in big numbers. Almost all the team was in front of the goal during final Yellow-Blues attacks. The visitors made amazing number of crosses into the penalty box, but unfortunately did not manage to get more than the woodwork hit by Sihnevich.

Nevertheless the Yellow-Blues continue to lead the table and will face FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk in Belarusian Cup Final on Sunday, May 24 at Gomel Central Stadium.

Aliaksandr YERMAKOVICH (FC BATE Borisov Head Coach):
- Our games against FC Torpedo are always tough. It is a real derby. We had three draws last season and now it is another hard-fought draw. Unfortunately we did not succeed much in the attack. And this is on the one hand the opponents' fault. In the defence we were convincing. Now we need to add in combinations. We have a lot to improve. Today's changes in the squad had nothing to do with the upcoming Cup Final in Gomel.
