Mikhail Avgustov opened the scoring for Belarus, but Sidy Fall equalised for Senegal. The European side took charge of the contest in the second period as they scored three times, two goals for Ihar Bryshtsel and another by Aleh Hapon. Mamour Diagne brought the score to 4-2 in the third period to give Senegal hope, but when Vadzim Bokach netted a fifth for Belarus, the game was over as a contest.
