Bumprom made light work of Lida with a 4-0 win in the First League's 25th round on Friday. The hosts took all three points at home, extending a run of results that had been heading in the opposite direction. Lida, sitting third before this match, dropped points they had been collecting with some consistency.
Zhestkin opened the scoring in the 18th minute, ending a barren spell for the home side. Sidorenko doubled the advantage just eight minutes later, and here's the thing — Lida had barely settled before they were chasing the game. By then, the visitors were already on the back foot, and the momentum shifted decisively.
The turning point came in the 32nd minute when Vashkevich picked up two bookings in five minutes and was sent off. That left Lida with ten men for the remainder of the contest. The home side made changes at the break, bringing on Zhestarev and replacing the dismissed Kabyshev, though the latter had only seen yellow.
Dubrovskiy added a third in the 74th minute, and Kazimir completed the rout with a goal in the 84th. Bumprom made four substitutions around the 73rd minute, cycling through players while maintaining pressure. Lida's disciplinary record told its own story — one red card against three yellows for the hosts, though the difference in cards mattered more than the count.
On the table, Bumprom remain seventh with 37 points from 25 games, while Lida sit third with 48. The gap between them widened further after this result, and the visitors' recent form — three wins in their last five — came to an abrupt halt here. To be fair, Lida had been building something, but one afternoon against a determined home side can change everything.
