Niva opened the scoring at the second minute and never looked back against Osipovichy in the First League's twenty-second round. The hosts ran out 6:0 winners on August thirtieth, a result that extended their lead at the summit of the table. Osipovichy, sitting eighteenth with seventeen points, had nothing to show for their efforts.
Pampukha struck twice in quick succession at the eleventh and twelfth minutes to stretch the back line. Gordeychuk added a second at the thirty-ninth after Kukhotskovolets was sent off at the thirty-sixth. The red card changed the complexion of the game, and Niva worked a short corner to open their fifth before the break.
Fedortsov scored at the seventy-ninth and Skomarovskiy completed the tally at the ninetieth. The hosts never got out of second gear, and Osipovichy refused to go away even after going a man down. By then the result was beyond doubt, though the margin still surprised.
Niva's form had dipped with a 2:3 defeat to Lida on the previous Sunday, but they closed the game out with authority. Osipovichy had picked up their first win of the season against Energetik-BGU on August twenty-second, yet that result meant little against this opposition.
The standings tell the story without embellishment. Niva sit top with forty-five points from twenty-two games, while Osipovichy remain in the relegation zone with seventeen. The gap between them is twenty-eight points, and the hosts played the second half a man up without complaint.
