Scoring charts

Nobody scored more than Guljigit Alykulov

The month closes with Guljigit Alykulov out in front — 3 goals in 4 games, and Dinamo Minsk have the division's most feared finisher.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to Guljigit Alykulov

Marked 8.49 across it, 3 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Dinamo Minsk have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Naftan

Timofey Simanenka was marked 8.62 and had a hand in 3 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

Maxim Yablonskiy hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Molodechno can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Arsenal Dzerzhinsk come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Dinamo Brest did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Dmitriy Lisakovich has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Gomel they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Scoring charts

Nobody made more than Artem Soroko this month

3 assists, 7.16, and a Arsenal Dzerzhinsk player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Scoring charts

Timofey Simanenka is the division's best-marked player — 8.62

The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 8.62 across 2 matches for Naftan.

The Dnepr Mogilev deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Oleg Diva reports back to Molodechno with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Scoring charts

Andrey Lebedev up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Naftan — 2 goals from 3 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Valeriy Gorbachik up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Arsenal Dzerzhinsk — 3 goals from 4 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Yegor Kortsov keeps the pressure on

2 goals in 4 appearances for Dinamo Brest leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Scoring charts

Nikita Naumov tops the scoring charts

Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 3 goals in 4 appearances for Vitebsk.

Scoring charts

The month belonged to Nikita Naumov

Marked 8.02 across it, 3 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Vitebsk have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Scoring charts

Artem Turich is the month's best young player — 8.02

The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 8.02 over the month and 2 goal contributions, from a Minsk player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

Market

Valeriy Gorbachik hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Arsenal Dzerzhinsk can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Dinamo Brest turn down Minsk for Yegor Kortsov

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Ilya Raschenya has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around BATE they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Scoring charts

Nobody made more than Dmitriy Vashkevich this month

2 assists, 7.34, and a Slavia Mozyr player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Scoring charts

Highest marks in the league belong to a Molodechno man

Yassine Bara averaged 8.16 over 5 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.

Kirill Leonovich attracts admirers

The name of Kirill Leonovich has come up in conversations Gomel were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Scoring charts

Steven Alfred up among the month's scorers

A productive month at Torpedo-BelAZ — 3 goals from 5 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

Scoring charts

Sinan Bakış is right behind him

3 goals in 3 appearances for BATE, and a chart that would look very different if two of them had gone in off the post instead of past it.

Scoring charts

Dmitriy Vashkevich keeps the pressure on

2 goals in 4 appearances for Slavia Mozyr leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Ilya Aleksievich told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Ilya Aleksievich has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Minsk.

The clock runs on Yegor Kortsov's contract

5 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Danu Spătaru's agent talks up a move

“He is at an age where he has to be playing at the top level. We will listen to anybody.” The representative of Danu Spătaru is not being subtle.
