Bely Gorod ended a difficult run with a commanding 3-0 win over Krasnoyarsk in a club friendly on 1 October. The match came just eight days after the hosts had beaten them 3-1 at home, and this time the result was completely reversed. Bely Gorod were dominant from the start, while Krasnoyarsk struggled to find any rhythm.
The visitors took control early and never looked back. They scored three goals without reply, showing far better composure than in their previous encounters. Krasnoyarsk were out-thought on the touchline and couldn't mount a serious response.
Form has been a talking point for both sides. Bely Gorod had won their last outing 3-0 against Zénit Saint Petersburg, while Krasnoyarsk's recent results were mixed — a win against Bely Gorod followed by a loss to Dynamo Moscow.
This result changes the picture for Bely Gorod. They had lost three of their last five matches before this friendly, including defeats to Dynamo Moscow and Novy Urengoy. The win over Krasnoyarsk gives them something to build on.
Krasnoyarsk will need to look at what went wrong. They had beaten Bely Gorod in their last meeting, but this time they were outplayed in every department. The scoreline reflects a team that couldn't adapt.
