Soligorsk claimed a 4-3 victory over Baranovichi in the Belarus Cup on 10 August 2026. The away side completed the turnaround after trailing, turning a cup tie into a match that stayed alive until the final whistle. Baranovichi fought back twice but could not find the equaliser they needed.
Both sides sit at the bottom of their league table with zero points after six games each. To be fair, the league standings tell only half the story here — cup football operates on different rules. Baranovichi have lost five of six league outings, while Soligorsk have won four.
The recent form makes the result somewhat predictable on paper. Soligorsk beat Molodechno 5-1 on 5 August before falling to Nemans Grodno 2-1 two days later. Baranovichi's last outing was a 4-0 defeat to Nemans Grodno, but they had scored five against Lida the week before. One mistake ends it in cup competitions, and this match proved that lesson hard.
Baranovichi's situation grows more urgent by the day. They have now lost four of their last five matches across all competitions. By then you start wondering whether the squad simply does not travel to make up the numbers in these games. The away end never stopped, but the home support could not turn momentum.
Soligorsk advance, but the table goes out of the window in these games. What matters is the next round, not the league position. The scoreline tells you everything — three goals conceded, one more than enough to keep you breathing.
