Dynamo will smash Yenisei on the road under the guidance of a new coach

The week between the two matches – after the defeat by Krylia Sovetov and before the trip to Krasnoyarsk for the game with Yenisei – was perhaps the main and even historic one for Dynamo this year. Four days after the sensational defeat in Novogorsk from the Samara club, which few people really expected, the Dynamo women's football club was left by the person with whom this club was associated from the moment of its creation in December 2021 and until April 23, 2025 – head coach Sergey Lavrentiev.

Almost 100 matches at the head of the youth and the main blue and white teams, 48 victories, silver medals of the Youth League in 2022, the debut of the Dynamo Housing and Communal Services under his leadership at the highest level of Russian women's football - in the Super League and the Russian Cup, the fight for medals with the best clubs of our championship – all this has gone down in history forever our club. And, of course, no matter how the future coaching career of Sergei Nikolaevich develops, he will always be associated with the name "Dynamo". Once again, many thanks for these years together, Sergey Nikolaevich!

Well, life goes on, and it continues with our team, which today has to fight not only for itself and its name, but also for a new mentor – Alexander Katasonov, who since the beginning of this season helped Sergey Lavrentiev in the coaching staff, and after his departure was appointed acting head coach.

The match for the debut at the head of the blue and white fell to Alexander Mikhailovich it's not harder to come up with - here is the most distant trip to Krasnoyarsk from the point of view of geography, and the game in the football arena on an artificial field, and the opponent is not to say that suitable for a bright debut. Although the history of personal meetings favors Dynamo: 4 wins in 4 matches and not a single missed goal.

But after all, all this is now receding into the background, and the first is the state of the team after an unsuccessful start to the season and such a stormy week, which ends with such a difficult route Moscow – Krasnoyarsk – Moscow. But if the Dynamo club started a new chapter of history this week, and its first lines fell to be written in the heart of Siberia, then why not do it beautifully?

The mood of the team for the game became noticeable almost immediately – from the first minutes the charged dynamos took the ball and controlled it so that the hostesses did not even have thoughts of getting close to the goal of their guests. However, the Dynamo players themselves had an attacking attitude that was not exactly a hurricane. After all, the start of the match affected Muscovites earlier – the game started at 10 a.m. Moscow time. And it is also necessary to take into account the fact that the team arrived in Krasnoyarsk only yesterday, and did not train on the artificial field of the Krasnoyarsk football arena before the match.

Nevertheless, the moments at the gate of Ksenia Sergienko periodically appeared and created the impression that it was still more logical to give Dynamo the status of the favorite of this meeting. But when the Muscovites scored their first goal in the 28th minute, the impression turned into real confidence. The Dynamo attack began, oddly enough, with the removal of the ball by the Yenisei goalkeeper, Anastasia Shlapakova intercepted it and brought Kaylan Williams to the goal with an accurate pass. The American could only beat Sergienko, which she did brilliantly!

The most pleasant aftertaste from the goal was the reaction of the Dynamo players after the goal was scored – they continued to attack and tried to consolidate their advantage in the score, not allowing the opponents to catch their breath and somehow recover.

Added white and blue and aggression. Perhaps this was influenced by an episode in the middle of the half, when the main referee of the meeting Karina Afanasyeva did not award a penalty after a foul on Elina Samoilova. On repeat, it was clear that the contact of the Yenisei defender on the blue and white midfielder in the penalty area was still there. However, considering that in the future two goals of the Dynamo team – Nadezhda Koltakova in the first half and Isidora Vuchkovich in the second – were not counted due to offsides, these are trifles.

If Dynamo had a moment of self-confidence in this match, it happened at the end of the first half, when the central defender Zelka Belovan made a mistake in single combat with Valeria Zarubina and let her go to the goal. Krasnoyarsk woman hit hard and accurately into the near corner, but Arina Taranchenko saved the team.

At the most dangerous moment for the hostesses in the first half of the game, the Muscovites responded with an equally dangerous blow from Tatyana Danilochkina, but then Dynamo goalkeeper Ksenia Sergienko saved her counterparts.

In general, the teams played out by the end of the first half and the game looked very lively. Moreover, both created moments, but the Dynamos were lucky at certain moments. That's when the teams dispersed, taking a break.

Despite the score and a generally pleasant game, the second half started as usual for Dynamo: Daniela Basayeva came out with a double substitution – instead of the author of the only goal, Kaylan Williams, and Ichen Berivan appeared instead of Tatyana Danilochkina.

It is not known whether these changes affected the team, but Dynamo scored right away: Anastasia Shlapakova's penetrating pass found Isidora Vuchkovich, who took advantage of goalkeeper Sergienko's mistake and doubled Dynamo's score!

Five minutes later, Dynamo's third goal also happened, but it was one of those two goals not counted due to offside. Samoylova put the ball in the penalty area right on Nadezhda Koltakova's head, and she sent it into the goal. But the side referee raised the flag - offside!

However, there was no time to get upset. The hostesses pressed our team a little to the goal, after all, they really wanted to score a goal against Dynamo, which would be their first in the history of confrontation with the Moscow club. The hostesses were close to this in the middle of the second half, especially in the 65th minute, when Galina Geibieva, well-known to us, threw Zarubin into a breakthrough, she almost went one-on-one with Taranchenko, but she let the ball go too far away from herself, and our goalkeeper was on the ball first.

By the way, a minute before that Dynamo scored again, but Vuchkovich's goal was not counted, and again because of the offside position.

A series of substitutions, including double ones from Dynamo and Yenisei, broke the game into segments and the teams were able to return to full-fledged creation only 15 minutes before the final whistle. But we must pay tribute to them – they did it both productively and spectacularly.

In the 75th minute, the blue and white created two dangerous moments in a row at once. It was Daniela Basaeva and Anna Sas, who came on as substitutes, who could have scored within a few seconds: both were heads from the Yenisei penalty area and both turned out to be slightly inaccurate. Well, at the 83rd minute, a bright beautiful point was set in the game: Ichen Berivan, who appeared in the second half, perfectly executed a free kick, leaving no chance for Sergienko at the moment and the whole Yenisei in this particular match!

3-0 is the perfect start for acting head coach Alexander Katasonov and his charges.
