Zhlobin take three points from Brest
Zhlobin beat Brest 3:2 in the Extraleague on Monday, 12 October 2026. The away side moved to the top of the table with nine wins from eleven games, while Brest stayed fifth on eight victories.
And here's the thing — the result extended a familiar pattern. Zhlobin had beaten Brest 4:1 just two days earlier, and now came away with another win at the same venue. By then you'd expect the visitors to have a rhythm, but this time Brest didn't fold as easily.
To be fair, the home side showed more backbone this time around. They didn't simply disappear after the opening exchanges. The match stayed close enough to keep you watching, and Zhlobin had to work for every advantage they held.
The standings don't tell the whole story, but they show where things stand. Zhlobin lead with nine wins and two losses, while Brest sit on eight wins and three defeats. No draws in either column — this league doesn't do much sitting on the fence.
We had tipped Brest to win at 43 per cent confidence on Friday. Prediction didn't come true. Zhlobin kept pushing and found the net when it mattered.
The gap between first and fifth is now clear, though not insurmountable. Brest have three losses to their name, Zhlobin only two. One match separates them in the table, and another meeting is always on the horizon.
