The Orsha Chronicle
Match8 Aug 2026
A 2-goal lead gone for Orsha
It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Lida kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Orsha will be asked about the last half hour all week.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Nikita Bobchenok did the work nobody counts — 6.84
17 combined actions and 6.84. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Denis Zakharov due for a Orsha medical
Everything agreed with Vitebsk, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Abdulaziz Lawal in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Orsha this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Lida take the points off Orsha
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Ivan Chalavach steps up from the Orsha academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ivan Chalavach has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Orsha promote Dzmitry Ihnatovich from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Dzmitry Ihnatovich has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
In brief
- The dugout The manager makes an example of Maxim Makarov
- Squad No place for Nicolai Spătar in the new shape
- Squad 10 new faces, and Orsha are still learning each other
