FK Minsk Women 12-0 Dyussh Polesgu Women: Record-Breaking Rout in Belarusian Women's Premier League
FK Minsk Women produced a staggering attacking display as they annihilated Dyussh Polesgu Women 12-0 at the FK Minsk Stadium on Friday. The result is one of the biggest ever seen in the Belarusian Women's Premier League, with the home side in irresistible form from the first minute to the last.
Goals Galore from the Outset
The reigning champions wasted no time in asserting their authority. They took the lead inside the first five minutes through striker Elena Kharchenko, who ghosted past two defenders before firing low into the net. Within the opening 15 minutes, FK Minsk had already scored three goals, leaving the beleaguered Dyussh Polesgu defence in complete disarray.
The first half was a blur of goalscoring action. Winger Anastasia Shapovalova netted a hat-trick in the space of just 18 minutes, showcasing her pace and finishing ability. Midfielder Olga Petrovna also got on the scoresheet with a powerful strike from distance. By halftime, FK Minsk led 8-0, with the scoreline already looking like a cricket score.
Second Half: No Let-Up
Some teams might have taken their foot off the pedal with such a commanding lead, but FK Minsk continued to press forward relentlessly. Substitute forward Darya Kovaleva came off the bench and scored twice, while Kharchenko completed her hat-trick to make it 11-0. The twelfth and final goal came in the 89th minute when a corner kick was headed home by centre-back Irina Martynchik.
Dyussh Polesgu goalkeeper Svetlana Yashchuk made several saves to keep the score from reaching even more astonishing heights, but she was powerless to prevent the onslaught. The visitors struggled to get out of their own half and failed to register a single shot on target throughout the entire match.
