A big win at the start

The youth team of Belarus, composed of football players born not earlier than 2003, produced a big win over Uzbekistan in the first match of the «Development Cup 2020».

Andrey Skorobogatko’s team seized the initiative from the first minutes. Already in the fourth minute, Dmitry Latykhov closed a cross from the right flank from Maxim Kunski on the near post. The guests were able to quickly recoup thanks to the long-range shot of Shakhzod Akramov, but soon the same Latykhov returned the favor and assisted Kunski. The «white-wings» had the ball and territory and at the start of the second half, after a beautiful strike by Kirill Chernook, the gap increased to 3:1. The intrigue was totally killed when at the 55th minute Kirill Zinovich netted another goal for the hosts after a corner.
