Eva Rabchenyuk's goal and iron discipline in defense allowed the blue and white to take three points in a difficult away match.
The match against Ryazan-VDV began for Oleg Gusev's wards as confidently as possible. From the first seconds, the Dynamos indicated their advantage by turning on active pressure and imposing a tight game with an abundance of interceptions on the opponents. Despite the territorial control, the starting ten minutes passed without really sharp moments at the gate of Karina Pestova.
The first test for the goalkeeper of the hostesses was arranged by Daria Sorokina in the 13th minute, but her shot on target was not strong enough. A couple of minutes later, Sorokina was again in the spotlight, but her attempt to attack the goal was interrupted by the referee's whistle due to playing with her hand.
By the middle of the half, the game had acquired a viscous character with a lot of struggle, but it was at this moment that the individual skill of the Dynamo players made it possible to open an account. At the 21st minute, Sofia Kolegova gave a verified transfer from deep to Eva Rabchenyuk. The striker effectively figured out the episode: she took the ball with the first touch, and with the second she coolly sent it past the goalkeeper into the net.
Having missed, the Ryazan team tried to snap back, and in one of the clashes the defender of the blue and white Daria Guskova even needed the help of doctors.
The end of the first half of the meeting turned out to be extremely emotional. At first, Rabchenyuk almost made an assist, bringing Sorokina to a rendezvous with the goalkeeper, but she shot straight into Pestova, and the assistant referee fixed the offside.
In the 44th minute, Dynamo missed a double chance to double the advantage: Pestova first repelled the blow of Anastasia Kovaleva, and then coped with finishing off Guskova. The key event of the half occurred in the 45th minute — Daniella Petrova received a direct red card for unsportsmanlike behavior, leaving her team outnumbered after an emotional reaction to the fall.
In the second half, the Dynamo coaching staff released Anastasia Buchatskaya instead of Daria Sorokina in order to rebuild the game in the face of a numerical deficit. Ryazan football players, feeling the advantage of one player, became more active. In the 50th minute, Maria Leontieva had to seriously enter the game for the first time. In general, the hostesses of the field began to own the ball more often, but the defense of the blue and white acted unmistakably.
Despite the minority, Dynamo did not press to their goal. In the 65th minute, Kovaleva almost caught Pestova off guard with a touch shot, but the goalkeeper transferred the ball to the corner. Closer to the final segment, Dynamo refreshed the squad with a series of substitutions, while the coaching staff of Ryazan-VDV did not dare to rotate for a long time.
In the 76th minute, Dana Dobrovitskaya made a tight shot from the penalty line, forcing Pestova to make another spectacular save. Kovaleva remained the most active player in the Muscovites, who imposed the fight on every part of the field and fulfilled numerous standards.
The last minutes of the match were spent in a chaotic struggle. The final assault performed by Ryazan-VDV in compensated time did not bring results — the Dynamo defense withstood. The final whistle recorded a difficult victory of the Muscovites with a score of 1:0, achieved thanks to a quick goal and ten selfless play throughout the second half.
