BATE — Shakhtyor

FC BATE Borisov beat FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk 2-1 in Minsk to win their 6^th Belarusian Supercup, more than any other side in Belarusian football. The win came courtesy of goals by the newcomer Serbian Mirko Ivanić and BATE captain Vital Radzivonau scored in first and second half respectively.

Ivanić intended to make a cross into the box for Radzivonau, but it was even better as the ball missed the forward and found the net in the far corner. That goal was preceded by another BATE goal ruled out because of an offside. That time Radzivonau was the netter after a pass by Artur Pikk.

In the first half BATE were the dominant side throughout the half creating three more fantastic opportunities. Radzivonau did not manage to use two great opportunities firing above the bar and off the far post, and then Karnitski almost stunned the goalkeeper with an impressive volley.

In the second half BATE doubled the lead after Ivanić found Radzivonau in the box with a fantastic cutting pass. Vital dribbled past the goalkeeper to net an easy ball. Soon substitute Maksim Valadzko could have closed the issue, but failed to capitalize on another good pass by Ivanić.

Shakhtyor came back into the game with an unlucky own goal by Dzianis Paliakou, but Shakhtyor was not close to equalizing in the remaining 12 minutes of play.

BATE won 4^th consecutive Belarusian Cup, and 6^th of 7 editions of the tournament. Newcomers Yury Kendysh, Artur Pikk and Mirko Ivanić made a very good impression.

Aliaksandr YERMAKOVICH (FC BATE Borisov Head Coach ):
- We won the trophy, this is the main thing. That was not an ideal game on our side. I think with the advantage we had we could have finished it all without any nerving ending. But still I think we used this opportunity to make the team better and to celebrate with our supporters. There are a lot of comments on the refereeing, but I think this just gives people something to talk about. On the whole that was a game when no team wanted to surrender and this is the reason for a lot of cautions. On the whole this is a great start of the season. This is great that our newcomers played well. I think Kendysh, Pikk and Ivanić altogether made a very favourable impression.
