Arsenal Dzerzhinsk are the only side outside of the Premier League left in the Belarusian Cup. Former Salvia Mozyr midfielder Valeri Senko scored twice for Arsenal in their 0-3 victory over Gorodeya. 

The other stand out result of the weekend for me was Gomel's 4-2 home win against Orsha in the First League. They have now won three in a row and are only three points from the top two promotion places. Could they return to the Premier League after just one season in the first league?
