On Monday, Dynamo faced Sparta Prague at the second VTB training camp. The Czech side finished second in Fortuna Liga and will start their UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign soon.
The coaching staff of the White-Blues continued to equally distribute the playing time between all footballers. The Paraguay international Fabián Balbuena made his first appearance for Dynamo forming a pair of centre-backs with Ivan Ordets, while Konstantin Tyukavin came out on the attacking end.
Dynamo opened the score at the beginning of the match. Tyukavin got the ball from Fomin, managed to keep the balance after physical contact with the Czech defender and hit past Niță - 1:0. The Prague side equalised in the 13th minute. Pesek hit the crossbar, and Hlozek leapfrogged Dynamo defenders delivering the ball into the net with a header. The White-Blues restored the lead due to Tyukavin's eye for goal who ran past the defenders and didn't leave any chance to Niță - 2:1.
After the break Sandro Schwarz renewed the squad and his team continued to threaten Sparta goal. N’Jie, Zakharyan and Moro were close to score. The best chance happened in the 73th minute. Lesovoy was fouled on inside the Czech penalty box. Daniil decided to perform a penalty but failed to convert it due to the goalkeeper's save.
Sparta answered with a deflected cross by Matej Polidar that ended up in the net five minutes before the final whistle - 2:2.
Dynamo will now play two friendlies on July 15 against the Hungarian club MTK and the Czech side Jablonec.
