Neman 2:1 FC Minsk: Premier League Match Result

Match report

Neman secured a 2:1 victory over Minsk in the Premier League's Regular Season round 18, played on 15 August 2026. The hosts took a commanding lead before the break when R. Khadarkevich struck twice in quick succession. Minsk pulled one back through A. Ratkovic, but Neman held firm to claim all three points at home.

Khadarkevich opened the scoring in the 45th minute, then added his second just after the interval in the 45+1 minute. Minsk made three changes at the restart — D. Spataru, I. Kirko and A. Nazarenko came on together — desperate to find a way back into the match. Their efforts were rewarded in the 71st minute when A. Ratkovic fired past the goalkeeper.

Neman made several adjustments of their own as the game wore on. D. Girs, who had picked up a yellow card in the sixth minute, was replaced in the 70th minute. Further changes saw A. Migdalenok, I. Dubinets and M. Kravtsov brought on around the hour mark, while K. Kuchinskiy and A. Ksenofontov came on later in the second half.

Statistics tell a story of Neman's dominance without the ball. They held 61 per cent possession and registered eight shots on target compared to Minsk's three, though only four of the hosts' efforts found the net. Minsk were more clinical with 60 per cent accuracy on target, but could not convert their chances into a comeback.

Both sides finished with two yellow cards between them, though Minsk received none during the match — the second yellow for Neman came in stoppage time. Neman remain seventh with 20 points from 20 games, while Minsk sit eighth on the same total after 21 matches.
