BATE — Torpedo-BelAZ

FC BATE Borisov left little chance to FC Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino with a 3-1 to grab the first trophy of the season. In spite of a goal conceded just after 6 minutes due to a penalty by Khachaturyan, the Yellow-Blues dominated in the rest of the game.

Mikhail Hardzeichuk turned out to be the MVP of the game scoring twice and preparing another goal for Mirko Ivanić. Misha could have scored even more, but wasted two fantastic opportunities before the break. A beauty with two back-heel passes by Ihar Stasevich and Vital Radzivonau to Hardzeichuk continued with a good dribble past another defender, but the shot went wide. And a one-on-one with Fomichev before that went in favour of the goalkeeper.

However, after 20^th minutes Mikhail found his way past the goalkeeper to equalize in spite of defender's desperate attempts to clear the ball away. The equalizer came as a perfect illustration of BATE shifting up the gear.

At the beginning of the second half Mirko Ivanić saluted a recent call-up to the Montenegrin national team with a goal. After a pass by Hardzeichuk he eventually went past the goalkeeper for an empty netter.

The third goal was another masterpiece by Hardzeichuk. This time he volleyed the ball home after a failed clearance by opponents defence.

BATE had no trouble in bringing the match to a win, sealing 7^th Belarusian Supercup in 8 editions of the tournament with Aliaksandr Yermakovich becoming the most decorated coach in the history of the trophy.

The Yellow-Blues will face FC Minsk in Belarusian Cup quarterfinals in the next game.

Aliaksandr YERMAKOVICH (FC BATE Head Coach):
- We are happy to win the trophy. This is important we make our supporters happy. I am thankful to the players, who managed to change the flow of the game. We conceded a goal, but then created enough opportunities up front and could have scored even more than three goals. Nevertheless we got the result we wanted. Anyway we were not perfect, there are mistakes in defence.

There could be changes in the squad. We are still negotiating with Jasse Tuominen. The negotiations are difficult, but we hope to get Jasse signed soon. He is an international player with a lot of good qualities who will definitely reinforce our attack.
