Dynamo Minsk II moved up the table with a 4-1 victory against Orsha in the First League regular season on Wednesday. The hosts took an early lead through A. Chumak before the visitors turned the game around in the second half. By then, Dynamo had already established control and went on to score three more goals.
Chumak opened the scoring in the fourth minute, a moment that caught many spectators off-guard. Orsha's Lutskovich picked up a yellow card ten minutes in, and the visitors' Tarbyakov and Kolesnikovich followed with bookings before the break. At halftime, both managers made changes — Kolesnikovich and Lutskovich were replaced. Dynamo struck immediately: M. Chernyavskiy equalised in the 46th minute and U. Varonin put them ahead just three minutes later.
The second half belonged to the visitors. Berezun received a yellow card in the 52nd minute, and Dynamo brought on three players in quick succession. Orsha's Gudach came on in the 62nd minute, Stain in the 68th, and Degtyarenko in the 77th. A. Chumak was substituted in the 80th minute after his goal — he had done enough. Yastachkin added a fourth for Dynamo in the 81st, and M. Pashkevich converted a penalty in stoppage time.
Orsha dominated possession in wide areas, winning eight corners to Dynamo's four. The hosts registered 19 free kicks compared to nine for the visitors, while both sides saw two offside calls and received two yellow cards each. Orsha had 26 throw-ins against Dynamo's 26 as well — parity in the rough stuff, but not in the final third.
The result moves Dynamo Minsk II further from the bottom half. They sit eighth with 31 points from 22 games, four points clear of Orsha in 13th place on 25 points. Orsha's recent form has been difficult — they lost 2-1 away to BATE II on Monday and have now gone three matches without a win.
Dynamo's away record shows vulnerability, but they showed composure here. They held their nerve after going behind and switched on when it mattered. The visitors did not let the game flow into Orsha's rhythm and took their chances when they came.
