"Kryvbas" - "Aarhus" 2:4

The second sparring partner of Kryvbas at the winter training camp in Spain was the leader of the Danish championship of the current season - Aarhus.

First half

The debut of the match was left to the opponent. Already at 43 seconds, a pass to the right flank and a pass to the goal area led to a goal against Makhankov. German forward Serra accurately headed into the near corner - 0:1.

The game was even with both sides having chances to succeed, but we missed for the second time, in the middle of the half. The same Serra closed the low cross at the far post - 0:2. Kryvyi Rih players were remembered for several good flank attacks and a half-moment by Paraco.

Instead, Aarhus used another of their chances at the 31st minute. A positional attack took place: Christiansson went one on one and powerfully shot into the far corner - 0:3. Kryvbas immediately responded with a Zaderaka moment, when our captain shot from a good position in the penalty area, but Hansen saved the Danes from a goal.

Second half

At halftime, Patrick van Leeuwen made seven substitutions at once: for the first time in the training camp, Mendoza entered the field in a sparring match. In the 51st minute, our attack went through the right flank - as a result, Mulyk earned a penalty after a foul by the goalkeeper.

Paraco scored a miss from the 11-meter mark easily and naturally - 1:3. But later, Aarhus scored the fourth time. Jorgensen was the first to finish after a protracted attack, scoring against Kemkin - 1:4. Kryvbas went forward to correct the situation, but in the 74th minute, one goal was equalized. After a pass from the right, Beijimo cut the ball into his own goal – 2:4.

The red-whites played very actively up front and could count on at least a draw. Twice, the active Mendoza was on the edge, and another debutant, the defender of Kryvbas U-17 Oleh Myroniuk, could even score. But Oleh’s shot at an almost empty goal was not strong enough.

We are losing 2:4 and continue preparing for the second part of the season. The next test match is on January 24 against the South Korean Daejeon Citizen.
