Molodechno-DYuSSh 4 — Smorgon: 3:0, Pershaya Liga

Mladzionka-DYSSh 4 claimed a straightforward 3-0 victory over Smorgon in Regular Season 17 of the First League on Saturday. The hosts took all three points with goals from I. Koval, I. Chernykh and D. Velisevich. By then the result had already been settled before the hour mark.

Koval opened the scoring in the thirty-sixth minute, and Chernykh doubled the lead three minutes later. That ninety-second window proved decisive. To be fair, Smorgon never really threatened after that.

Mladzionka added a third through Velisevich in the seventy-sixth minute. The hosts collected three yellow cards across the match, at fourteen, fifty-seven and eighty-nine minutes. Smorgon kept their discipline with no bookings.

Smorgon edged the corners 10 to 7, but the numbers tell only part of the story. Mladzionka converted their opportunities while the visitors could not find the net despite having more set pieces.

The win keeps Mladzionka fifth with 41 points from 23 games. Smorgon remain fifteenth on 24 points, six wins and six draws from their campaign.

And here's the thing about this match — Mladzionka's recent form has been patchy, with defeats to Lida and Niva, yet they found their rhythm against Smorgon. The visitors have not won since July 25th, a run that now stretches across five fixtures.
