The blue and white played a friendly match that has already become traditional at the winter training camp with the BIIK-Shymkent Housing and Communal Complex.
The team led by the new head coach Maxim Zinoviev played its first game in 2026 against the multiple champion of Kazakhstan and participant of the Champions League – BIIK-Shymkent.
This is the third meeting of the Russian and Kazakh clubs in three years. The previous two remained for Kazakhstani women – 0:2 in 2023 and 1:2 in 2024.
In the third test match, everything was decided by two quick own goals performed by Kazakhstani football players. One of which, however, a little later the judges rewrote to the account of the dynamovka Zelka Belovan. Anyway, by the 15th minute the blue and white were leading 2-0 and generally had a serious advantage until the break.
As is often the case in off-season friendlies, the lineups for the first and second half were noticeably different from each other. So, after the break, instead of Anastasia Ananyeva (debut for Dynamo!), Maria Digurova, Irina Dricheva, Anastasia Kovaleva and Anastasia Shlapakova, Arina Taranchenko, Camilla Abashilova, Lamunat Mustafaeva, Ichen Berivan and Svetlana Vinnikova, respectively, appeared on the field.
Interestingly, the pair of central defenders Basaeva–Belovan remained the same.
Substitutions in the Dynamo squad also occurred during the second half. So, very young football players entered the game – silver medalists of the Youth League-2025 as part of our youth team: Varvara Demidova, Anna Chudilina, Angelina Golik, as well as another blue and white debutante - 16–year-old midfielder Ksenia Pilnikova.
Despite the fact that the Kazakh women won back one goal in the second half, the first victory in 2026 was still for Dynamo!
