The blue and white managed to realize their first standard and held a minimal advantage in Samara (1:0) until the final whistle.
The match in Samara began with a super-fast and, most importantly, effective attack of the blue and white in the very first minute. The fans saw one of the fastest goals in the history of the Super League: Kristina Komissarova served from the corner right to Yulia Myasnikova, who hit her head in the jump. The ball dropped in a high arc into the far corner of Kristina Fedorova's goal, bringing the Dynamo team ahead in the very opening of the meeting.
In the first ten minutes, the Muscovites continued to build pressure, trying to develop success, but the Samara defense, after the missed ball, began to act smoothly and accurately. By the middle of the first half, the pace of the game had decreased, the teams switched to a positional confrontation with a large number of single combats.
Anna Peshkova received a warning in the 23rd minute, and after that Dynamo missed the opportunity to increase the score. The same Komissarova struck tightly from outside the penalty area, Fedorova deflected the ball, but Anastasia Kovaleva, who was the first to finish off, struck above the goal.
Towards the end of the first half of the meeting, the game began to take on a tougher character. Samara football players gradually seized the initiative, but their attacks lacked a finishing blow. At the 40th minute, the Dynamo defense coped with the next attack of the hostesses, and in the compensated time, of which one minute was added, no significant events occurred. The teams went on a break with a minimal advantage of Maxim Zinoviev's wards.
The dynamovki started the second half actively again, putting pressure on the gates of the "Wings of the Soviets" from the first seconds. However, unlike the first half, this pressure did not lead to a quick goal-taking, and by the 55th minute the pace of the meeting leveled off again, both teams began to sin with a technical marriage. In the 57th minute, a dangerous moment arose at Anastasia Ananyeva's goal: Sofia Shishkina beat the defenders and went to the strike position, but the ball flew into the hands of the goalkeeper after her strike. Immediately followed by another attack of the Volga women, which ended with an inaccurate blow.
At the 62nd minute, the coaches made a series of substitutions. Isidora Vuchkovich joined Dynamo instead of Milena Lyubimova. Tatyana Morina and Valeria Solodukhina left the field for the Samara team, instead of which Anastasia Chirich and Anastasia Shvedova entered the game. And it was Shvedova who was close to equalizing the score in the 64th minute: after her headbutt, Ananyeva put the ball over the crossbar with her fingertips. Two minutes later, the goalkeeper of the Muscovites could not lock the ball after the strike of Tiyana Matic, but the projectile went to the corner.
At the 70th minute, Dynamo had another reshuffle: Irina Dricheva replaced Kristina Komissarova. In the second half of the half, Samara football players acted noticeably more actively and more often created threats at the gate of the guests. The Dynamo defense coped with the long-range strikes of the hostesses, which mostly led only to angular ones.
At the end of the match, in the 88th minute, Krylia defender Maria Durnova received a yellow card for a foul on Isidore Vuchkovich, interrupting a quick attack by Muscovites, and in the 90th minute Yulia Myasnikova again struck dangerously after a corner, but Samara defenders took the ball out of the goal line.
And although by the main time of the second half, the main referee of the meeting, Sofia Ryzhonkova, added two minutes, the final whistle sounded only in the 94th minute, fixing the victory of Dynamo Moscow with a minimum score of 1:0.
So, the goal scored in the first seconds of the meeting, as a result, remained the only one in the match and victorious for the Moscow Dynamo.
