The White-Blues lost to the Austrian side by 0:3 in the fourth pre-season game at the VTB training camp.

The Dynamo coaching staff decided to distribute the playing time equally in the last two friendly matches of the first Austrian VTB training camp. That’s why players who started the previous match on the bench as well as Zaurbek Pliyev, Sergey Parshivlyuk, Alexander Kutitsky, Arsen Zakharyan and Clinton N'Jie entered the starting line-up against LASK.

The fixture was held in Pregarten, near Linz, where LASK have their training ground. As a result, about a thousand of local spectators gathered around the pitch.

The Austrian side started actively and soon opened the score. Goiginger got the ball from Balić and sent it past Budachyov from a few meters. LASK punished Dynamo for a mistake in the 23rd minute again. Renner found Raguž inside the penalty box. The latter rolled the ball in without any resistance.   

Dynamo players threatened the opponent’s goal only by crosses from wings. Grulyov and N’Jie came close to goal but missed some luck. On the contrary, the Austrians continued to keep an envious effectiveness in finishing. Flecker stole the ball near Dynamo penalty box, hit the crossbar, but Goiginger was right place, right time – 0:3.

In the second half Sandro Schwarz fielded fresh players and Dynamo could level the game but unfortunately not the score. The White-Blues picked up tempo, took the ball but the accurate pass missed sometimes. The 18-year-old striker Gladyshev was active in the attack. In one episode Yaroslav fell to the ground after the contact with a LASK defender. However, the referee didn’t see a foul.

Dynamo won two matches and lost twice at the first Austrian VTB training camp, which will end on Sunday.
