Mozambican international Ninica Cuta continues to shine in Belarus and has consolidated her place among the top scorers in the Vysshaya, the Belarusian Women's Football League of 2024. With 21 goals scored in 28 rounds, Ninica occupies fifth position in the top scorers table, standing out as one of the most dangerous players in the competition and a pillar of the Minsk team in their quest for the title.
Despite her consistent goalscoring prowess, Ninica was absent from the final matchday, when her team drew 1-1 with Zorka-BDU, who are in third place with 68 points. This draw proved costly for Minsk, who lost the league lead to Din, now in first place with 80 points. Minsk dropped to second place with 77 points, just three behind the leader.
Ninica is determined to continue contributing to her team, but she knows it will be a great challenge to catch up with Din midfielder Alina Khoroshchak, the league's current top scorer with 34 goals. Ninica recognizes the high level of competition, but remains confident in doing her best to help Minsk, both with goals and her performance on the field.
“I hope to score next Saturday. We just need to win the two remaining games to secure the title. It will be a close fight, as we cannot afford to lose,” said Ninica. She emphasizes the importance of each match from now on, since the team needs to accumulate six points in the next two games to have a real chance of lifting the trophy.
This Saturday, Minsk will face Smorgon, the bottom-placed team in the competition with only four points. Despite being a theoretically weaker opponent, the game represents a golden opportunity for Ninica and her teammates to regain the lead and remain in the title race until the final round. Minsk will take to the field with a winning mentality, avoiding any risk of a draw.
Besides Ninica, another Mozambican player has stood out at Vysshaya: Lónika, who occupies the 44th position on the top scorers list, with seven goals scored among a field of 107 athletes. Both represent Mozambique with pride and showcase the talent of the country's female players on an international stage.
Ninica's journey is a source of pride for Mozambican fans, who are eagerly awaiting the final stretch of the league. Will Minsk be able to overcome Din and win the title? And will Ninica be able to further increase his goal tally? The upcoming games will be decisive, and Ninica's talent and determination will be fundamental for Minsk to achieve its goal.
With two rounds remaining and a tight race for the title, Ninica Cuta continues in the competition, carrying Mozambique's name to the top of the Belarusian League and proving her worth as one of the best players in the competition.
