Having missed a quick goal, the blue and white found the strength to turn the tide of the game and take away the draw from the Moscow exit (1:1).
The away match against Master Saturn began as actively as possible for the wards of the capital club. Already in the 4th minute, the blue and white had a one hundred percent chance to open the account: Irina Dricheva executed an accurate feed from the corner, and Eva Rabchenyuk won the position and struck - the hosts were saved by the crossbar. Dynamo completely took over the initiative, controlled the ball and dictated their conditions on the field, while the opponents were focused solely on defense.
Another standard performed by Dricheva in the 8th minute led to a fight between Kristina Kubatkina and the defenders in the penalty area, but the ball after this single combat passed above the goal.
Despite the tangible gaming advantage of Dynamo, the first meaningful attack of Master Saturn turned into a goal in the 15th minute. Maria Timofeeva received a transfer in the penalty area and, taking advantage of the lack of tight custody, coolly punched past Arina Taranchenko.
The missed ball noticeably somewhat tempered the attacking ardor of the Muscovites: the hostesses of the field seized the initiative and pressed Dynamo to the goal for a few minutes, earning a dangerous, albeit inaccurately executed penalty. Closer to the middle of the half, the game leveled off, however, in the 24th minute, the inconsistency of the actions of the defense and the goalkeeper of the blue and white almost led to another goal - Timofeeva had a chance to throw Taranchenko, but the Dynamo goalkeeper managed to neutralize the threat.
The end of the half was held in a viscous struggle in the middle of the field. "Master Saturn" attacked sharper, not allowing the Dynamos to run away and creating pressure right up to the whistle for a break.
The second half of the meeting began with a reshuffle in the Dynamo lineup: Ksenia Pilnikova replaced Kubatkina. Muscovites immediately went ahead, and already in the 46th minute Dricheva checked the vigilance of Svetlana Zenkova with a shot on target. The answer of the housewives followed immediately, but the shot of Valeria Biryukova went far into the milk.
At the 51st minute, Dricheva's individual skill brought the result: Irina burst into the penalty area on dribbling and forced the opponents to foul. Ekaterina Sergeeva came to the point. The goalkeeper of "Master Saturn" repelled the first shot, but Sergeeva was the first to finish off and on the second attempt she opened the opponent's goal - 1:1!
Inspired by the success, dynamovki increased the pressure, but the game broke down into episodes with a lot of defective gear and errors. In the 71st minute, Anastasia Buchatskaya gave a perfect shot along the goal, but Eva Rabchenyuk lacked one touch to close the transfer to an empty corner. The Dynamo coaching staff refreshed the game with a triple substitution, which allowed the team to arrange a final assault.
At the same time, Master Saturn continued to respond dangerously: in the 86th minute, Milana Gubaidulina found herself alone in front of the goal, but Arina Taranchenko saved the team by fixing the ball after her direct hit.
The last minutes turned into a benefit of Yana Nesterenko and goalkeeper hostesses Zenkova. First, Yana, after Daria Sorokina's shot, struck into touch — not too hard, and the ball was stopped by the goalkeeper of "Master Saturn" on the line.
And already in compensated time, after Varvara Demidova's overhang, Nesterenko delivered a powerful header under the crossbar, but Zenkova made a spectacular save, transferring the ball to the corner.
Immediately after the submission of this standard, the final whistle sounded, which recorded a draw, despite all Dynamo's attempts to put the squeeze on the opponent in the end.
