FC Vitebsk secured a narrow 1-0 victory over FC Slutsk in a defensively disciplined match in the Vysshaya Liga. The early goal, scored within 12 minutes, set the tone of the game, granting the visitors a crucial advantage. Despite creating several opportunities, FC Slutsk struggled to break through Vitebsk’s organized defense, ultimately failing to convert any of their 6 corner kicks into goals.

Both teams exhibited similar styles of aggressive play, evidenced by the high number of fouls committed—17 by Slutsk and 16 by Vitebsk—and the multiple yellow cards distributed to each side. The flurry of cards within the second half highlighted moments of increased tension and perhaps disrupted the flow, especially for the home team who looked to regain momentum.

While FC Slutsk made stronger attempts in the final third, the decisive factor in this encounter was FC Vitebsk’s ability to protect their early lead. The visitors' defense held firm against the host's offensive efforts, leveraging their early lead efficiently. Both teams fell offside twice, but Vitebsk’s disciplined backward line stifled Slutsk's potential comebacks, illustrating the match's strategic nature.
