ŽNK Agram 0:1 FC Minsk — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Viktoryia Valiuk’s 51st-minute strike secured FC Minsk a 1-0 away victory over ŽNK Agram in the UEFA Women's Europa Cup Qualification Round 2, with the midfielder’s decisive goal proving the difference in a tightly contested first leg. Agram, needing a result at home, will rue a quiet opening hour as Minsk controlled the tempo without ever truly dominating.

The match turned just after the interval when Valiuk, unmarked at the edge of the area, curled a low effort past the Agram keeper to break the deadlock. Agram’s frustration showed early, with Maria Kunštek booked in the 34th minute, and Laura Kopić followed her into the book just after the hour as the hosts chased an equaliser that never materialised, leaving Minsk’s defence relatively untroubled.

Possession told the story, with Minsk enjoying 56% of the ball to Agram’s 44%, while the visitors also edged the corner count four to two, suggesting they were the side more likely to add to the scoreline. Valiuk’s rating of 9.38 out of ten reflected her match-winning contribution from midfield, though Agram will feel the margin was flattering given their defensive resilience. The result leaves the tie finely poised going into the second leg, with Minsk holding a slender advantage to protect.
