On January 31, FC Dynamo Kyiv played the first friendly at their second winter training camp that’s taking place in Turkey.
Mircea Lucescu’s men faced champions of Bulgaria – PFC Ludogorets Razgrad. Just like the White-Blues, they’ve tumbled out of euro cups this season.
Ludogorets started the game quite aggressively. Bushchan parried the shot by Souza. Sotiriou put a promising cross into the box, but Zabarnyi cleared the ball.
Meanwhile Dynamo turned their first chance into goal. Show fouled against Verbic inside the box. Referee awarded penalty and sent Ludogorets player off as this was his second booking. Harmash converted from the spot – 1:0.
Bulgarian side didn’t play outnumbered for too long as the two sides agreed to substitute players in case they get red cards. Still Dynamo controlled the situation on the field and increased their lead before the break. Verbic put a low cross and Vitinho made the ball cross the line – 2:0.
Kyivans started the second half with totally different lineup and made it 3:0 pretty soon. Vivcharenko’s shot was blocked after which Shaparenko obtained the ball and sent it into the net.
Ludogorets definitely didn’t plan to be flattened. Plastun attempted with a header after cross, but the ball went wide. Despodov took a free kick and hit the wall.
The White-Blues kept attacking too. Buialskyi missed the ball after low cross by Kedziora and Vivcharenko’s strike was blocked again. Anyway, in the 74th minute, Dynamo increased the lead. Shkurin got the ball inside the penalty area and hit the corner – 4:0.
Still Bulgarian side pulled one back. Vivcharenko passed back inaccurately, Despodov got the ball and Yatsyk fouled inside the box. Despodov hit the target from the penalty spot – 4:1.
Thus Dynamo start the second training camp with positive emotions!
