Kushnirenko and Kravchenko scored for the Zhytomyr team
Polesie won a strong-willed victory over Real Murcia in the debut test match as part of the Spanish training camp.
Yuri Kalitvintsev’s team lost minimally in the first half, but scored twice after the break. First, Bogdan Kushnirenko scored from the penalty spot, and Nikita Kravchenko scored the winning goal.
The French newcomer Yassin Fortuné, a winger who came from the Swiss Sion on loan until the summer of 2024, took part in the match (came out in the second half). In addition, the first half of the meeting was played by two potential newcomers – defender Bogdan Mikhailichenko (belongs to Dinamo Zagreb) and 21-year-old midfielder Talles Costa (Sao Paulo).
Let us remind you that Polesie planned four sparring sessions at the training camp in Spain. On January 27, Kalitvintsev’s team will fight with Stal Mielec (Poland), on February 2 – with the Swedish Kalmar, on the 7th – with the Icelandic Stjarnan. Dates are subject to change.
Polissya ranks third in the UPL, two points behind leaders Krivbass and Dnepr-1. The next official match, Kalitvintsev’s team will play away against Rukh in the 18th round. The base date is February 24.
