Ekaterinburg beat Kunlun 6:0 in a club friendly match on Thursday 28 August 2026. The hosts put three goals past their visitors in the first half and never looked back. By then the scoreline had already told the story of the afternoon.
Kunlun have not won any of their last five games. They lost to Magnitogorsk 2:3 in their most recent outing, and before that fell to CSKA Moscow 0:1. Two defeats to Sochi followed — 5:2 and 1:2 — with one win against Avangard Omsk 3:5. They have not found the net consistently enough.
Ekaterinburg's recent record looks steadier. They lost 1:3 to SKA Saint Petersburg on 15 August, but before that they beat Avangard Omsk 3:2 and Vladivostok 4:1. Two matches against Khabarovsk produced a win and a loss — 4:2 and 2:5. The difference between the sides was visible from the opening period.
And here's the thing about friendlies — you watch the effort, not the table. Ekaterinburg tracked back when they needed to. Kunlun gave away too many cheap fouls in their own zone. The third period was a formality, but the work rate stayed high.
