A join training session between Shakhtar and Lokomotiv that took place in Marbella Football Paradise on 9 February is considered to be successfully completed. Two halftimes, lasted 30 minutes each, were played in hard clash, but the most interesting thing that the coaches had an opportunity to change the picture of game, while both teams were playing and gave tips actively. 

Actually, today almost everybody was giving their hints and tips for the players: the head coaches, their assistants, the players, who did not take part at this encounter… All that created a special atmosphere.

It is hard to say what principles Yuriy Syomin used, putting the players, but Mircea Lucescu’s aim was quite clear. The Hirnyky’s coach drafted the players who did not participate at tonight’s match against Kalmar or did not have much practice for long. The rest stayed at the hotel to recover.

The officiating crew, represented both teams, served the encounter. Ľuboš Micheľ has been selected to take charge of the match, while the administrators appeared as linesmen. Damir Zinnatullin was involved from Shakhtar’s side.

Despite the wild attacks and efforts, both teams failed to open the score for long. Only 55 minutes into the game Mariusz Lewandowski clinching Ilsinho’s shot successfully stroke the rival’s net.

Today’s line-ups:

Shakhtar: Khudzhamov, Leonardo, Kucher, Chyzhov, Rat, Ilsinho, Duljaj, Polyanskyy (Lewandowski, 35), Kravchenko (Vitsenets, 35), Fomin, Luiz Adriano (Gladkyy, 31)
