FC Krasnodar finished its first winter training camp program with a scrimmage against the Swiss FC Basel. The Bulls did have some playing advantage before the half-time, but they were unable to turn it into scored goals. In the second half both squads underwent drastic changes, and the game became more or less equal. The Krasnodar team failed at finishing though, while the RotBlau didn’t and made good use of both their chances. The goals were scored by Kevin Bua and Éder Balanta at close range.
