Match Overview

Dinamo Minsk entered the tie as firm favorites, sitting higher in the Belarusian Premier League table and boasting a deeper squad. Slutsk, however, have built a reputation as a tough opponent in knockout competitions, having reached the quarterfinals in two of the last three seasons. Despite their resilience, the home side failed to register a shot on target in the entire ninety minutes.

Dinamo’s midfield controlled the tempo, with the central pairing breaking up play and distributing efficiently to the flanks. The goals came from a 27th-minute header off a corner and a 58th-minute solo run that finished low past the Slutsk goalkeeper.

Key Moments

• 27' – Dinamo Minsk’s center-back rises highest from a corner to nod in the opener.
• 58' – A rapid break caught Slutsk’s defense out of shape; the forward slotted home from 12 yards.

Standout Performers

Cup Impact

This victory propels Dinamo Minsk into the next round of the Belarusian Cup, where they will face a lower-tier side.
