From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Denis Sadovskiy decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Kirill Sidorenko sends Bumprom Gomel through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Kirill Sidorenko obliged against Naftan. 1‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Bumprom Gomel.

Market

Bumprom Gomel turn down Molodechno for Kirill Sidorenko

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

Squad

Maxim Samotoy 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 Bumprom Gomel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Sino Absamadov shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

Artem Zhevnerenko runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Eyes on Dmitriy Krivosheev again

The phone has started ringing about Dmitriy Krivosheev again, and this time the name on the line is Lida. Bumprom Gomel are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Sergey Kruzhilin gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Valeriy Potorocha misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Squad

Maxim Samotoy in a row with a teammate

Market

Kirill Sidorenko attracts admirers

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

Market

Bumprom Gomel and Zeki Aliev are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

The clock runs on Maxim Samotoy's contract

48 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.

Squad

Mark Tychko signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mark Tychko commits to Bumprom Gomel for another 4 years.

Squad

No hiding place for Dmitriy Krivosheev

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Dmitriy Krivosheev, and the manager let it.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market

Kirill Sidorenko 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 Bumprom Gomel can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Bumprom Gomel turn down Niva for Dmitriy Krivosheev

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

Squad

Valeriy Potorocha signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Valeriy Potorocha commits to Bumprom Gomel for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Bumprom Gomel

Maxim Samotoy was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Maxim Vospukov attracts admirers

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

Match

Bumprom Gomel find a way past Baranovichi

Baranovichi made Bumprom Gomel work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Sino Absamadov

Marked 8.71 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Denis Sadovskiy gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

One of those days for Artem Zhevnerenko

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.02, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
