Mariupol's Metallurh Revenges
Kyiv Dynamo
The alumni of Mykola Pavlov, now on a training session in the Israeli city
of Hemlon, held a control match with Moscow's Spartak, the champion of
Russia, which recently beat Kyiv Dynamo in the Commonwealth Cup finals.
As The Day correspondent Serhiy MAKHUN was told by the Mariupol
Metallurh press service, the Muscovites in fact put out a first-string
team; besides, they used as a substitute Dmitry Alenichev who plays for
Italian Roma where he mostly sits on the bench. Spartak coaches Oleh Romantsev
and Vyacheslav Grozny closely watched the performance of their players.
As soon as Vitaly Pantilov opened the score in the seventh minute, the
Russians rushed to equalize the score but, instead, conceded a second goal
in the 73rd minute (Stepan Malokutsko). The Ukrainian top division's also-ran
finally won the game 2:0. Meanwhile, in Zurich the second-string Kyiv Dynamo
team finished third in a mini-soccer tournament. Our fellow countrymen
lost the semifinals to the future winner, the Swiss Serviette, with a score
2:3,. In the consolation match Dynamo gave Marseilles, leader for the French
championship, no chances and won 6:2.
