The highlight was the early goal scored in the first half, just 15 minutes and 38 seconds into the game, setting the tone for the rest of the match.

Despite having three players booked, FC BATE Borisov failed to utilize their pressure effectively, offering no goals in return. The second half became a robust duel with each team receiving two yellow cards respectively. Interestingly, the bookends of these card decisions came in a short span of only three seconds (at 1:33:03 and 1:33:06) indicating the intensity of the competition.

Statistical analysis reveals that FC Minsk Reserves had an advantage over their opponents in terms of corner kicks. They managed to secure a total of ten corner shots throughout the match as compared to BATE Borisov's three, giving them more scoring opportunities, and ultimately it is what made the biggest difference.

On the other hand, FC BATE Borisov successfully kept themselves from falling into the offside trap, with zero offsides throughout the match, but were unable to crack Minsk's solid defence.

Despite having a number of chances, particularly through set pieces, it was Minsk's ability to put themselves in goal-scoring positions which turned out to be the most significant factor in the outcome of this match. Their aggressive playstyle reflected in their corner and offside statistics may seem risky, but it ultimately helped them secure their close win against FC BATE Borisov Reserves on the day.

The fervor and competitiveness of this match were clearly demonstrated through the bookings, five yellow cards in total. Yet, despite the intensity, the discipline from both teams remained commendable with no player receiving a red card.
