FC Neman Grodno continue to set the Belarussian first division pace with a 3-1 away victory at FC Slavia Mozyr.
Unbeaten run
Vasily Dyatlov and Oleg Radushko both struck in the first half for Neman before Vitaly Tarashenko clinched it just after the break. Neman are now undefeated in ten games, sitting two-points clear of Torpedo-MAZ Minsk, who beat FC Gomel 2-0.
Home defeat
Dmitry Kaigorodov and Alexey Naumov were on target for Torpedo as Gomel lost at home for the first time this season. FC BATE Borisov were also victorious, defeating great rivals FC Dinamo Minsk 1-0 thanks to Pavel Begansky's goal.
Leading scorer
Elsewhere, FC Dnepr-Transmash Mogilev beat FC Molodechno-2000 2-1, while FC Torpedo Zhodino accounted for FC Zvezda-VA-BGU Minsk by the same scoreline. FC Belshina Bobruisk were denied a home win by Valery Stripeikis, as the FC Dinamo Brest striker, the leading scorer in the top flight, cancelled out Vadim Boiko's opening goal.
