Dynamo lost to CSKA in a dramatic ending

The first minutes passed quietly, the teams fought for the initiative without creating chances. By the 8th minute, the army football players took the ball and organized the first approach, which did not end with a blow from the penalty area. In the center of the field, the guests controlled the ball better, which is why the blue and white often had to foul to stop their progress.

Despite the fact that CSKA was building up pressure, intercepting the initiative, by the 15th minute Dynamo managed to move the game away from their own goal, although it had not yet reached the creation of moments in someone else's penalty area.

After an active start, the teams took a breather, giving the coaching staffs time to think. By the 20th minute, the game leveled off, the advantage of CSKA ceased to be overwhelming. However, soon the guests again pinched Dynamo in his half of the field, increasing the number of serves in the penalty area. And in the 25th minute, the score was opened: Anastasia Ananyeva deflected a long-range shot, but the ball bounced to Tatyana Petrova, who shot right on target – 0:1. The guests led quite unexpectedly, after which they took the initiative again. It was important for Dynamo not to fall apart and not to miss the second goal.

Meanwhile, the red and blue began to use long-range strikes more often: Nevena Damjanovic's shot went very close to the crossbar. The blue and white responded with counterattacks. In the 34th minute, Isidora Vuchkovich and Anastasia Shlapakova ran away in such an attack, but the Serbian football player made an uncomfortable transfer, and the defenders of CSKA eliminated the threat. The paths to the gates of the army team remained tightly closed until the break, at which the teams left with a minimal advantage of the guests.

There were substitutions in the teams during the break. Marina Achoyan and Dayana Kishmakhova came out of CSKA instead of Daria Yakovleva and Sofia Kraysumovich. 16-year-old Milena Lyubimova replaced Isidora Vuchkovich at Dynamo.

Immediately, the second half started with the scoring moment of the guests, Dynamo was again saved from the second ball by Ananyeva. And in the 50th minute the Dynamo substitution worked. After the submission of Shlapakova and the reset from Anastasia Kovaleva, young Lyubimova, who became the joker of the team, as in the last round with Lokomotiv, beat the defenders and hit the target exactly – 1:1, Dynamo returned to the game!

Open football went on the field on the opposite courses. CSKA, which could not lose points in a correspondence dispute with Zenit, was still rushing forward. But Dynamo did not sit back in defense either. So, Shlapakova had a chance to lead Dynamo ahead, and then Ananyeva did not allow Achoyan to score when going one-on-one. The captain of the blue and white team, Yulia Bessolova, struck at point-blank range in front of the goal, but hit the army defender. In the 70th minute, A nna Sas and Berivan Ichen replaced Zelka Belovan and Kristina Komissarova.

In the end, the players began to get nervous, the number of violations increased. The Army pressed, making every effort to snatch victory and single-handedly lead the Super League table. The defense and Ananyeva acted extremely collected, coping with the blows and canopies of the army players. After one of them, performed by Nadezhda Smirnova, the ball passed next to the "nine" of the Dynamo gate. And in the 80th minute, Kovaleva in a tackle took the ball from the ribbon right into Ananyeva's hands after a hit by Milena Nikolic, having performed the best save of the season, if not of the season, then of the tour for sure!

However, the outcome of the derby was decided by another episode, when in the 89th minute Achoyan shot on target, and Anastasia Ananyeva could not do anything – 1:2…

And although four minutes were added to the main time, the blue and white did not have the strength to win back again. The score 1:2 in favor of CSKA fixed the outcome of the game, in which Dynamo did not exactly look worse than its opponent.
