A European country where football is played with fans, and goals are celebrated with hugs

Sports activities and competitions have been stopped in all of Europe - except in Belarus.

The football championship of that country was not only not postponed, but recently started, and the actors of the first match, in front of the fans, were also two Montenegrins, former footballers of Budućnost.

The younger - Dušan Bakić - was one of the surprise creators, the scorer in Energetika's victory over BATE Borisov, in which national team member Boris Kopitović plays.

Kopitović is in favor "News" conveyed his impressions from the match and what is the situation in Belarus.

"The whole world stopped because of the virus, only here everything came down to a bizarre ban on handshakes before the match," Kopitović said.

However, goal celebration is not prohibited.

"The victory of Energetika was a feat, so Jakšibajev and Bakić shared the double scorer with their teammates," Kopitović said.

And the fans were at the stadium.

"Around 1.000 fans in these strange times is certainly a satisfying visit for Energetik, which is a small club," said Kopitović, who started the match on the bench and played about 20 minutes.

"I was fully prepared for the match in Minsk, but the coach decided to send several of the best players to the bench. When everything was over, he informed us that he had no bad intentions and that he wanted to protect us".
