FK BumProm Gomel delivered a dominant performance in the Belarusian First League, crushing Osipovichy 5–1 at home on May 31, 2026. The result underlined the hosts’ attacking power and kept them in contention for promotion as the season entered its final stretch.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, BumProm Gomel took control. They scored in the 9th minute when forward Aleksey Korneev headed in a corner. By the 25th minute, the lead doubled: a quick counterattack saw midfielder Pavel Sokolov finish from 12 yards. Osipovichy briefly reduced the deficit in the 34th minute after a defensive mix-up allowed striker Dmitry Ivanov to poke home, but BumProm Gomel restored their two-goal advantage just before halftime through a penalty converted by Korneev.

The second half was one-way traffic. BumProm added two more goals – a long-range strike from Sokolov in the 56th minute and a late tap-in from substitute Artem Zhuravlev in the 78th. Osipovichy offered little resistance, managing only one shot on target after the break.
