In four previous sparring at the training camp in Spain FC Dynamo Kyiv opposed European and African teams. In the fifth friendly the White-Blues faced one of the best South Korean clubs Suwon Samsung Bluewings.
As usually Serhiy Rebrov used two different squads in this game. Those, who took the field in the starting lineup, played for about 60 minutes this time.
Korean side had the first scoring opportunity 11 minutes into the match. Olexandr Shovkovskyi saved Dynamo in one-on-one situation. Kyivans didn’t have a lot of chances unlike previous sparrings.
After the break situation didn’t change a lot. The White-Blues controlled the ball, but Bluewings demonstrated good physical conditions and dedication.
About one hour into the game new group of Dynamo players took the field. Several minutes later Serhiy Miakushko rushed into the penalty area, eluded several defenders and hit the target! It was the first goal for young halfback at the training camp.
A couple of minutes before the time Lukasz Teodorczyk could double the score, but Korean defender didn’t let the ball cross the goal line after his shot.
The final score of the game is 1:0 for Dynamo, who’ll play the next sparring on January 28 against Algeciras CF.
