"Kryvbas" - "Tianjin Tiger" 3:0

The fourth sparring partner of Kryvbas at the winter training camp in Spain was the representative of the elite division of the Chinese championship - Tianjin Tiger.

First half

Kryvbas started the sparring actively, created several good opportunities to score and later opened the scoring. After a protracted attack and a shot by Shevchenko at the defender, Paraco finally pushed the ball into the goal from close range - 1:0.

Kryvbas continued to have the advantage and create good opportunities. The Mendoza-Shevchenko duo was active. Both threatened the goal at least twice and could really score. But the goalkeeper acted confidently on the line. At the end of the half, after a corner and a tackle, our newcomer Jones scored - and again the goalkeeper saved the Chinese.

Second half

The second half of the game started with the debut goal of 17-year-old Bodnar. Matviy came on as a substitute immediately after the break and already in the 50th minute he spectacularly sent the ball into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area after a successful rebound - 2:0. Congratulations to the talented footballer on this event!

Kryvyi Rih continued to play more actively than the opponent, made a number of substitutions, and the score changed once more. In the end, Mulyk took advantage of the opponent's mistake and brilliantly scored into the far nine - 3:0. Although there were other moments: for example, Kamenskyi hit the post after going one-on-one. We should also note the debut of the second winter newcomer of the red and whites, Sek, who appeared on the field in the 66th minute.

There is the first victory of Kryvbas in 2026. The next control match is on Thursday, February 5, against the English Brentford B.
