Belarus melted Guatemala 12-3 to seal their place at the top of group A.

Belarus delivered a breathtaking performance, scoring a flurry of stunning goals to secure the biggest win of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Seychelles 2025™ with a dominant display against Guatemala.

Ihar Bryshtsel, the adidas Golden Scorer from UAE 2024, and Anatoliy Ryabko each netted four goals, with Ryabko’s tally including an extraordinary trio of bicycle kicks. Vadzim Bokach added two headed goals, the first coming from a clever one-two with Mikita Chaikouski. Even goalkeeper Uladzimir Ustsinovich joined the scoring spree, volleying home a spectacular goal of his own.

Despite the heavy defeat, Guatemala showed resilience and spirit, finding the net three times in the final period through Pablo Crocker, Erick Montepeque, and Berny Marroquin. Their debut World Cup campaign ends with pride, having secured a historic win earlier in the tournament.
