Having created a series of dangerous moments in the second half, our team lost to the hosts of the field (0:3).
The game started at a calm pace with mutual exploration. At the 6th minute, the hostesses of the field earned a penalty and shot their heads past the goal. Dynamo responded with an approach to someone else's penalty area in the 8th minute, and on the 9th they created the first dangerous moment: Anastasia Shlapakova hit the goal, the ball hit the defender, after which Kristina Komissarova played on the rebound and struck again, which Zenit players transferred to the corner.
"Zenit" responded with an interception after a mistake by Muscovites at their penalty area, but Darina Ishmukhametova struck centimeters from the bar. A minute later Veronika Kuropatkina hit her head after a pitch from the corner of the field directly into the hands of Anastasia Ananyeva. By the 15th minute, the Petersburgers took possession of the ball and played the game with the first number.
By the 20th minute, the tempo had decreased, switching to the mode of positional struggle with the preponderance of the hostesses. In the 23rd minute "Zenit" executed two corner shots in a row: at the first of them Ekaterina Pantyukhina struck the rally, and Ananyeva from under the crossbar transferred the ball to the front. And in the 26th minute the score was opened: Alyona Andreeva delivered an accurate long-range shot at the "Dynamo" goal, the goalkeeper of the blue and white was powerless. After the goal, the game suddenly quieted down, there were a lot of single combats and standard positions without acute moments.
Actually, even the main referee of the meeting, Arina Stanovova, did not add almost anything to the first half.
The second half began with a substitution in the composition of "Dynamo" – Isidora Vuchkovich came out instead of Milena Lyubimova – and the second goal of " Zenit", which doubled the advantage in the 49th minute. Darina Ishmukhametova's throw into the penalty area was closed by Violeta Slovic's head – 2:0.
At the 53rd minute, the coaching staff of the blue and white carried out a double reshuffle, releasing Zelka Belovan instead of Maria Galai and Irina Dricheva instead of Kristina Komissarova, who was playing her 100th match for "Dynamo". In the 64th minute, "Dynamo" was close to its first goal: fresh Dricheva ran to the goal and shot along the front, and Natalia Voskobovich parried Shlapakova's shot.
By the 77th minute, the blue and white pressed the opponents to their penalty area. In the 80th minute, after a shot by Shlapakova, Slovich cut the ball higher than her own crossbar, and in the 81st minute, Dynamo scored two consecutive shots on target, which Natalia Voskobovich coped with.
If the dynamos did not realize their moments, then the blue-white-blues put a spectacular point at the very end of the meeting: in the 89th minute, Arina Shuba sent the ball into Ananyeva's goal with a direct long-range shot.
The referee added three minutes to the second half, but the score 0:3 on the scoreboard did not change anymore.
