The second friendly match that was held at the second winter VTB training camp in Turkey, ended in a 2:2 draw.
The Belarusian goalkeeper Andrey Kudravets made finally his debut for Dynamo. Roberto Fernandez and Leon Zaydenzal formed a centre-back tandem, Diego Laxalt returned to the pitch after injury, while the game winning goal scorer in yesterday's clash Aleksandr Chupayov earned his chance to start the match on the left wing of attack. Dynamo-2 prospects found themselves on the bench as it happened a day before.
Not only this fact united two encounters – the White-Blues conceded two early goals again. First, Min-heok Yang passed three defenders and hit the target from a few meters. Three minutes later he also appeared at the forefront of the attack getting the pass inside the penalty box and assisting on Sang-hong Lee, who doubled Gangwon's lead.
Dynamo players managed to score one goal pretty quickly. In the 16th minute, Chupayov got a push into his back, and Konstantin Tyukavin punished the visitors twice from the penalty spot (the first attempt had been cancelled because a player ran into the penalty area ahead of time).
The Muscovites approached to another comeback and fired several times from afar: Bitello struck near the post, while Denis Makarov's effort had been denied by the goalkeeper. Kudravets also was on fire: the newcomer of our team first took the ball confidently after a slash from the penalty area, and a little later, he interrupted a dangerous cross from the right wing in a nice jump. In the last 20 minutes of the first half, the game calmed down and both sides created less goalscoring chances.
Dynamo started the second half much more actively than the opponent. Makarov made a through-ball to the penalty box, Tyukavin outran the defender and shot powerfully under the crossbar – the goalkeeper managed to react. After a couple of attacks, Yegor Nazarenko dropped the ball accurately to Kostya's strike, but this time the defender was able to block the ball selflessly.
Then a double substitution made by Marcel Licka at half-time weighed in on – Viktor Okishor curled the ball into the penalty area, from where Nazarenko headed it over the goalkeeper – 2:2.
As always, Bitello looked solid. The attacking midfielder organized an attack from Dynamo goal in half a minute, then earned a free kick and executed it himself – the goalkeeper did not daunt the ball easily. However, the Brazilian had to go to the bench before the final whistle: a defender flew into him in the center of the pitch, and Dynamo coaching staff decided not to risk replacing him by a young Yegor Smelov.
Gangwon changed almost the entire squad, and the game became chaotic. At the same time, the White-Blues were still closer to pulling out a victory. Fomin made a great longball towards the penalty area, Tyukavin tried to throw the goalkeeper in one touch, but didn't succeed in this action.
Dynamo had to finish the last 10 minutes ten-men after Smelov stepped on the opponent's ankle and was penalised with a red card for his foul. The last dangerous chance in the match came to our team. Tyukavin won the duel from the defender and sent Okishor into the breakthrough. The 17-year-old midfielder got close to the goalkeeper and decided to return the ball to Kostya, but the defender read this maneuver.
In the next match of the camp, the White-Blues will face Orenburg on February 8. The game will start at 5:00 p.m. and will be broadcasted live in our VKontakte group.
