29 January 2019. Spain. Marbella. Dama de Noche Football Centre. Clear. 16 degrees. 100 spectators.

In the third scrimmage of the Spanish training camp FC Krasnodar tied 1-1 with Beijing Renhe Football Club, a representative of the Chinese Super League. The Bulls totally dominated the pitch throughout a full 90 minutes, and yet it was the opposition who scored an abrupt opener on the 18th minute. The Senegalese striker Makhete Diop fired a brilliant shot from the central circle sending the ball into the top corner of the goal and above Kritsyuk who had left his goal area bit.  

Out of a dozen solid scoring chances the black-green were able to actually use a single one. Freshly-fielded Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov took a precise shot at close range on the 81st minute.
