Ear achieved a decisive victory over Chernomorets in the home friendly match – 3:1.
The opponents exchanged goals in the opening: the Sailors responded to Oleg Krivoruchko’s precise strike with a goal from Alexey Khoblenko, who had previously played for the Odessans under the leadership of Alexander Babich, and spent the last season as part of LNZ.
