Dynamo toppled by Polish side Lechia Gdansk

Dynamo Moscow lost their second winter training friendly match 2-0 to Polish Ekstraklasa side Lechia Gdansk on Wednesday. Goals either side of half time from Lukas Haraslin and Kristers Tobers sealed the win for Lechia.

Sebastian Szymanski’s tame sighter dribbled straight at the keeper after 13 minutes, but other than a set-piece header for each side drifting over their respective goals there was little action in the first half an hour.

Szymanski combined well with Sergey Parshivlyuk on 35 minutes only for the latter’s shot to be blocked at close range. Five minutes later Haraslin’s pin-point shot from outside the box found the bottom corner of Anton Shunin’s net.

Miguel Cardoso’s cross 10 minutes after the break found new signing Nikolay Komlichenko but his header was acrobatically turned round the post. With 20 minutes to go an inswinging free-kick from the right was glanced wide, but Tobers made no mistake shortly after from a corner.

Dmitri Skopintsev had Dynamo’s last real chance when his free shot was blocked from 12 yards after Lechia’s second goal.

Dynamo play two matches on Saturday 1 February, against Mladost Lucani and Slovan Bratislava, before another double-header on 5 February against Ventspils of Latvia and Serbian side Vojvodina.
