Mashyeka Minsk secured their first points of the Division 1 campaign with a 39:28 victory over BGUFK-SKA at home on Wednesday afternoon. The match marked the opening round for both sides, each entering the tournament with a blank record.
The hosts built a comfortable lead through the opening exchanges and held on for the full duration. BGUFK-SKA could not find a way back into the contest despite their efforts in the second half.
Recent form offers some context for the result. Mashyeka Minsk had been competitive in late spring, losing narrowly to SKA Minsk and Gomel before beating Cronon twice. BGUFK-SKA's recent outings against MRHK showed a mixed pattern — they won one, lost three, and drew one.
That disparity in results carried through into this fixture. The home side's finishing proved too sharp for their visitors, who struggled to convert their chances.
The win moves Mashyeka Minsk into a positive position at the top of the table, while BGUFK-SKA will need to regroup quickly. Both teams now have one game under their belts and will look to build on this result in their next outing.
