In the first game of the tournament Dynamo beat Shanghai Shenhua in a spectacular match in a penalty shootout (2:2, 5:3). The goals were scored by Bitello, who closed the shot of Juan Caceres, and Ivan Sergeev, who scored at the very beginning of the second half from Georgy Tikhomirov's transfer. The 19-year-old central defender came out in the support zone and after 30 seconds in his debut match for the base was noted for effective action.

Let's note the youth attacking trio Viktor Okishor, Gleb Miroshnichenko and Alexander Khubulov, who, together with Sergeev and Anton Miranchuk, pretty much frayed the nerves of more experienced rivals. By the way, all five confidently realized their attempts in the post-match penalty shootout.

Newcomer David Ricardo was not included in the application for the match, but after the game he noted that he hopes to help the team on the field in the very near future.

Chengdu Rongcheng cannot boast the same glorious history as Shanghai Shenhua, since the club was founded only in March 2018. The team moved quickly through the divisions and already in 2022 for the first time played in the Chinese Super League, immediately taking fifth place. A year later it was already the fourth, and in the last two seasons the team from the city of hibiscus and pandas finished on the third line in the standings.

Last season, Chengdu made its debut in the Asian Champions League and performed even better than its competitors in the Chinese championship, but still did not qualify for the playoffs. In the championship, Chengdu Rongchen was four points behind Leonid Slutsky's team and boasted the strongest defense in the league (28 goals conceded in 30 rounds).

All the successes of the club have been associated with the work of Korean specialist So John Won over the past five years. However, in the winter, the management did not extend his contract, awarding him the title of "Honorary Head Coach". In fact, the team was led by John Aloisi, the former forward of the Australian national team and its fourth scorer in history. For the 49-year-old coach, this will be the first experience of foreign work.

In attacking actions, he will certainly rely on proven Brazilians Romulo and Felipe Silva, who have been playing for Chengdu since 2021. Moreover, in January they were joined by two compatriots Wellington Silva, who played in La Liga, and Mateus Jussa, a two-time champion of China as part of Shanghai Port.
