Blackburn – Dinamo – 1:0

Goal: Edo Martin

The match full of struggles and contact fight between English and Belorussian footballers finished with Blackburn’s victory in a close score.

The only goal of the match was really nice: after the Adrian Edo Martin’s kick, who wanted to make a pass to the far cross-bar and suddenly for goalkeeper scored in top corner.  Minsk player’s attamps to win back, using the gaps in rival’s defence, were interesting and dangerous but in vain.

Adrian Edo Martin, "Blackburn Rovers" U-17 footballer: 

We’re very glad to win the first two matches, they weren’t easy, but we managed to win due to the good team work and team spirit. To play with pressure is our style, but "Dinamo" has the similar football, that is why there were a lot of contact fight on the field. In my view, "Blackburn" played better today, though our mistakes in defence gave several chances "Dinamo" to score, they didn’t use them. I’m glad I helped my team to win with the goal, I didn’t score much balls like this.

Gennady Lesun, "Dinamo Minsk" U-17 coach:

It’s a shame to lose points in such a match where we missed a random goal. I can’t say I’m satisfied with my boy’s game: personal skills and weather didn’t let them win. Though I can’t have any claims about their devotion and desire to fight to the end.
