BATE Borisov — Slutsk

The first half turned out to be an attacking tornado by the Yellow-Blues. Oleg Dulub's side kickstarted the game by a series of attacks that triggered an opener already in the 7^th minute. Stanislau Drahun's great shot saved by Barys Pankratau only to be rebounded into the net by Mikalai Sihnevich.

FC BATE chose for the same lineup as in the winning game vs FC Vitebsk won 1-0 at home and that was enough to press SFC Slutsk hard enough to get three 100 per cent chances in just three minutes. However, instead of 3-0 it was 1-1 when an ex-BATE reserve player Shikavka scored an equalizer.

However BATE were relatively quick to get the lead back. It was Mikalai Sihnevich again who this time found the net after a fantastic Ivanić pass. The game would have been decided unless BATE used their chances. But marvels by Ihar Stasevich, Mirko Ivanić, Mikalai Sihnevich and Mikhail Hardzeichuk all went in vain.

In spite of huge BATE advantage the game went late with a 2-1 and Slutsk were close to equalize. Just in the injury time substitute Maksim Skavysh sealed the victory with a goal.

The Yellow-Blues will face FC Neman Grodno in Belarusian Cup semifinal return leg away on Wednesday.

Oleg DULUB (FC BATE Borisov Head Coach):
- If we had converted all the chances we had, we could have finished the game. Instead we made it a roller coaster. It was really hard for me as a coach. We conceded a goal and then had to switch on hero mode to win. On the whole I think supporters probably like such games. It could have been 2-2 as well. This is great Mikalai Sihnevich scored two goals.
