Not so long ago I promised to write  about the events in the Belarus football championship. Literally on Monday the 19th day finished. The results of all matches and the standings are at the end of thus post, and in the very post I will tell you about three most interesting matches of the matchday.

In the main match teams-leaders: Borisov BATE and Vitebsk played. Before the match the Belarusian mobile operator Velcom announced that during the game an unusual premium class fan zone will be organized: sofas will be installed near the field. Also in the zone there were decorative elements that created an additional comfort, as well as drinks and snacks. In addition, in this area there were local football celebrities. By the way, in the next round the similar zone will be organized in Brest where the Dynamo will met Minsk.

As for the game itself, the teams failed to show spectacular football, on the one hand, because of the principled nature of the match and the importance of the points at stake, and on the other, because BATE kept in mind the upcoming match in the Champions League play-off  with PSV. At the same time, the teams were able to create several dangerous moments during the match. In the first half, the hosts gave the initiative to the guests, hoping for a counterattack, but the ball to the Finnish striker Tuominenn rarely came. The second half began not very well for Borisov  - the goal  was missed not very well which was scored by Furlan. The hosts rushed to recoup and created several dangerous moments, Vitebsk also had some good chances. The denouement came in the 89th minute, when after pass from the right in the penalty area  Vitebsk defender pulled for the Dragun's shirt, as a result penalty  was appointed , that incidentally caused discontent of guests who believed that there was no faul. Penalty was scored by the captain of BATE Igor Stasevich setting the final score of the match: 1 - 1.

In another match Minsk Dynamo that  had an equal with Vitebsk quantity of points and shared with him the second line, met Gomel, taking the place in the middle of the table. As the match showed, the Minskers have not yet recovered from the blow inflicted by Zenit in the Europe League and showed the low-quality football, even in Belarusian standards of. The game finished without goals: 0-0.

In another match, which will be mentioned in this post, the Brest Dynamo, the Chairman of the Board of which is Diego Maradona, met one of the outsiders - Smolevichi-STI. The Brest Dynamo players as well as their Minsk team-mates failed to please their supporters with high-quality football: only if the Minsk team managed to achieve a draw, the Brest Dynamo missed the ball in the end of the first half and failed to recoup. Thus, the "unwinnind" series of Brest lasted up to three matches. In the standings they go to a  eighth place, although before the start of the championship, experts attributed them to the contenders for medals. Smolevichi, thanks to the victory, managed to break away from the tight group of candidates for the downshifting and climbed to the tenth place.
