Outstanding performance
Belarus•DefenderBelarus settled into total control after the break, scoring within a minute of the restart through Artem Kontsevoy and never letting San Marino breathe again. With 60% possession, 66 dangerous attacks to 29, and a near two-to-one edge in shots, the home side's dominance was emphatic rather than fortunate, even if only five of their 15 shots found the target. Kirill Pechenin was the architect of the rout, providing the assist for all four goals as Belarus turned the game into a procession, adding strikes through Artem Shumanskiy and Maks Ebong before Kontsevoy's late second sealed it in the 88th minute. For San Marino, the result does little to change their standing as perennial minnows, while Belarus's clinical second-half surge will boost confidence heading into their next Nations League test.
