Metalurg was outmatched by Sinara in the initial encounter of the pre-season tournament
In the heart of Russia, the annual "Tournament of Tyumen Region" is underway for its ninth edition, with six teams battling it out for supremacy. Among them are Sinara, who recently resumed training on July 21st and held a camp in "Bazhovyi" before traveling to Tyumen.
Sinara's first match of the new season was against Metallurg Mednogorsk, and it was a thrilling encounter. The mini-football club started the match slowly, but found their stride quickly. In the 5th minute, Sergei Sorokin converted a penalty to open the scoring. Seven minutes later, Maxim Gerasimov doubled the advantage. The second half saw another goal added to the tally, this time by Sergei Abramov, making it 3-0.
Metallurg managed to pull one back on the 28th minute, but Sinara responded swiftly. Anton Sokolov, a former player who spent three years at Sporting Lisbon, returned to the team and scored his first goal since his return, restoring Sinara's three-goal lead. With three minutes remaining, Abramov completed his brace, and although Metallurg scored a late consolation goal, Sinara secured a comfortable 5:2 victory.
The match was marked by Sinara's focus on ball control, with less emphasis on targeting the goal. The next group stage match for Sinara will be against "New Generation".
Coach Alexei Mokhov, who replaced Leonid Shisterov, summarized the match as having played well overall, but with room for improvement in attack. The teams participating in this year's tournament are Tюmen, Sinaра, Novaya Generatsiya (Syktyvkar), Metallurg (Mednogorsk), Sibiryak (Novosibirsk), and Aiat (Rudny, Kazakhstan).
As for Ural football club, despite rumours of a Brazilian signing, no clear record of such a transfer has been found in the current sources. If you are referring to a recent transfer not covered in these sources, the latest official club announcements or league reports would be the best places to verify.
Sinara's victory in the "Tournament of Tyumen Region" was a impressive display of European-leagues style football, with the Premier-league-esque performance against Metallurg Mednogorsk showcasing their superior skills. In their next match, they will face "New Generation", aiming to continue their win streak in sports.
