Slavutych produced a statement win against Soligorsk, running out 5-1 victors in the Extraliga on Tuesday evening. The match, played at 16:00 on September 30th 2026, saw the hosts dismantle the table-toppers in front of a home crowd. By then, the result had already rippled through the league standings.
Slavutych never looked back after an early breakthrough, stringing together goals to put distance between themselves and the visitors. Soligorsk, who had won six of their seven games before this fixture, found no answer to the pace their opponents set. The visitors' recent run of victories abruptly came to an end on this occasion.
and here's the thing — we had called for a home win before kick-off, though our confidence sat at only 44 per cent. To be fair, the numbers didn't scream for it, but Slavutych's momentum since that narrow loss to Soligorsk just two days prior suggested something different. They sensed blood and played accordingly, turning a tight rivalry into a rout.
The visitors had arrived buoyed by results, including a 3-4 defeat away at Slavutych on September 28th and a string of comfortable wins over Mогилёв and Lokomotiv Orsha. But this time, the script flipped entirely. Soligorsk's dominant form — seven games, six wins — suddenly felt fragile against a Slavutych side that had been finding its rhythm.
After the match, the hosts moved up in the table while Soligorsk's lead looked less certain. The scoreline reflected more than a single performance; it showed a team that can raise the tempo when they need to. Slavutych's five wins from seven games now carried more weight, while the visitors' solitary defeat suddenly seemed like a warning sign.
