Belkarad hosted Slonim in the First League's Regular Season round 19 on 10 August 2026, and the visitors took all three points with a 3-1 victory. By then, both sides had played 23 matches, and the result shifted the table slightly without overturning the order. Slonim sat sixth with 39 points, one above Belkarad's seventh place and 34.
And here's the thing about opening exchanges — the hosts started brighter and took the lead when M. Tkatsevich struck in the 17th minute. The home crowd felt the momentum, but Slonim weathered the storm and refused to let the tie slip. They kept their shape and waited for their chance.
The second half brought a turning point. M. Kalinchenko equalised in the 71st minute, and suddenly the match felt wide open. To be fair, both teams carried the side forward with more urgency, and the visitors began to camp in the final third. The pressure told within 15 minutes.
A. Zhukovskiy rolled the dice with a late run and found the net in the 86th minute. K. Sidorenko added a fourth in the 89th, and the stadium fell silent as Belkarad's hopes evaporated. The match had been competitive, but Slonim picked up the points when it mattered.
Discipline held up for the most part, though there were three yellow cards during the contest. A. Zhevnerenko received his caution in the 37th minute, and two others followed in the second half — one at 68 minutes and another at 90 plus three. No one was sent off, and the game finished without major disruption.
The result leaves Slonim still above Belkarad in the standings, though only by five points. Both sides have now played 19 competitive matches in this phase of the season, and every point counts as the table tightens. The visitors need the points badly, and they took them.
