Волна Пинск beat Слоним 3:0 in the 21st round of the First League on 22 August. The hosts opened the scoring inside the first quarter-hour and never looked back, finishing with a clean sheet and three points from a match where they controlled the tempo.
K. Krutorozhkin put them ahead in the sixth minute and doubled the advantage shortly after the break. A. Vlasov picked up a yellow card in the 19th minute as Слоним tried to respond, but the visitors could not find an equaliser before half-time.
By then the visitors were chasing the game, and the pressure told. A. Chuyko came on in the 68th minute and three minutes later А. Konev followed, but neither could shift the momentum. Слоним's manager made four changes in quick succession around the 69th minute, a sign of frustration rather than a tactical shift.
The third goal arrived in stoppage time when substitute A. Bulychev found the net in the 90+4th minute. It was a late flourish, but it closed the scoring and left the home side with a comfortable margin. The visitors had already seen enough to know the result was beyond reach.
Волна Пинск remain ninth with 31 points from 22 games, while Слоним sit sixth on 36 points. The five-point gap between them is unlikely to close after this result, and the visitors' recent run of defeats adds to the concern around their campaign.
