The Brest team started the second semi-final of the Cup as it should be according to their status. They did not object to the fast handball of the younger “soldiers”, they defended well and quickly earned a handicap of four goals. The Minskers tried to change the situation by personally grabbing Matiyashevich in an active 5-1 defense, but the Meshkovites still continued to stick to their line.
Until they started looking for the best of the good. Two losses on assists gave BGUFK-SKA two quick goals, and a miss in Brest’s third attack in a row without goals converted the score from 3:7 to 6:7. Danila Vergeichik led the team a little after, flying in from the right corner with a throw in the face of the goalkeeper. Fortunately, he got off with a “kopeck piece” instead of a red card, but in the majority BGUFK-SKA was able not only to restore parity, but also to take the lead – 10:9!
Minskers would have known then that this tenth ball would be their last for the next eight minutes or more … The capital attack really stuck for a long time, and this is an equal merit of both the dense Brest defense and Denis Zabolotin, who pulled out several important shots. In attack, however, Meshkov Brest didn’t shine either: in the same “dry” section of the guests, the hosts scored only five times. It could have been more solid. But the Brest team regained some kind of advantage – and before the break they managed without playing swings.
The second half for “Meshkov” began with trouble: Karpilovich, with a throw from seven meters, broke the nose of Usyk, who had just entered the site. The guard of the gates of Brest residents returned post No. 1 to Zabolotin, and the Minsker went to inspect the match on the podium. However, there would be no happiness … Denis did not have time to lose his tone and was very reliable. But BGUFK-SKA, cherishing hopes for a chase, fell into a ditch dug with his own hands. Sergei Shilovich had to bring his guys to life in the 40th minute, when the gap grew to 7 goals.
At the same time, it cannot be said that Meshkov Brest acted in full force. The Brest team played… calmly. We didn’t twitch if the opponent ate the ball or two breaks, we didn’t rush forward headlong, we kept a comfortable lead. The tactics are quite understandable, given that the main match for the winners is tomorrow. And the foundation of SKA is waiting there. Far more formidable and dangerous.
On Saturday, you will have to give everything without a trace. Saved enough energy…
BGUFK-SKA-RGUOR (MINSK) – “BAGS BREST” – 30:38 (14:19)
