Blue and white confidently returned to the championship after a three-week break, sending two unanswered goals to the gates of the Southerners.
Three weeks of waiting have come to an end! After a pause for the national team matches, where Dynamo representatives — Yulia Myasnikova, Anastasia Kovaleva and Anastasia Shlapakova — defended the colors of their national teams, the Super League finally returned to Moscow. And she returned with an intriguing confrontation: Krasnodar came to visit the blue and white.
By the way, Maxim Zinoviev's wards left in a great mood for this three-week break. After all, the victory was obtained on a difficult trip to Krasnoyarsk. Anastasia Shlapakova's gorgeous long-range shot to the "nine" not only brought us three points, but also brought her very close to the historical mark of 10 goals for the club. At the moment, only six people in the history of Dynamo can boast of such an achievement, and Nastya is clearly not going to postpone getting into this "club of the chosen".
Well, Anastasia Ananyeva in Krasnoyarsk once again proved that her gate is a real fortress. The third "dry" match of the season, and again our winning 1:0! It is impossible not to mention Yulia Myasnikova: 99 assists per game allowed her to become the most passing player of the tour in the entire Super League.
Today's opponent is a direct competitor and neighbor of Dynamo in the standings. Krasnodar, like us, has 9 points in the piggy bank, and this game was supposed to decide who would make a qualitative leap up. Southerners are a team with their own unique character. While everyone was doing transfers, they decided to rely solely on their own reserves. This makes them sporty and unpredictable. Although the history of personal meetings remains with the blue and white (5 wins against one of the rivals), the duel at the start of last season, in March 2025, when Krasnodar was able to upset us, is still fresh in my memory.
This meeting had a special subtext for Daniela Basaeva. A true legend of Krasnodar football, a record holder in matches and goals, today she again came out against the team in which she spent eight seasons. Such intersections always add sparks to the field, so the battle for the most important three points began from the first seconds.
Dynamo showed a serious attitude from the first minutes, although the starting segment of the meeting was held in a cautious struggle – the teams exchanged blows that did not pose a particular threat. However, gradually the initiative completely passed to the blue and white. The first really dangerous moment was created by Yulia Myasnikova in the 12th minute: her tight long-range shot under the crossbar forced the goalkeeper of the guests Natalia Silina to transfer the ball to the corner.
The pressure of Maxim Zinoviev's wards was increasing. In the 22nd minute, Kristina Komissarova earned a promising free kick, but she herself executed it above the gate. However, after five minutes, Krasnodar's defense, which had been acting reliably before, failed.
After a well-adjusted pass by Anastasia Kovaleva and Kristina Komissarova, Milena Lyubimova sent the ball into the net with her head. This goal became a landmark not only for the match, but also for the whole club: Lyubimova distinguished herself at the age of 16 years, 6 months and 28 days, becoming the youngest Dynamo goalscorer in the Super League and breaking Irina Dricheva's record!
Before the break, Krasnodar tried to organize retaliatory attacks, but the defensive orders of Muscovites worked flawlessly.
At the beginning of the second half, Dynamo had an absolute opportunity to remove all questions about the winner. After Komissarova's submission from the corner, Nadezhda Koltakova struck with her head — Silina deflected the blow, but Lyubimova lacked accuracy in finishing off, and the ball went out.
The pace of the game decreased for a while, which did not prevent the blue and white from consolidating their advantage, who played a brilliant combination "on the second floor" in the 60th minute. Kristina Komissarova made a pass into the penalty area, Yulia Myasnikova won the fight and dropped the ball to Nadezhda Koltakova, who also drove it into the net with her head — 2:0!
Interestingly, ten minutes after this episode, the coaching staff of the Southerners took an extraordinary step, replacing the goalkeeper: Vera Sanzharovskaya took the field instead of Natalia Silina.
The end of the meeting turned out to be emotional and rich in tactical changes. At the 75th minute, Maria Galai was forced to leave the field due to damage, Varvara Demidova promptly came out instead. In the 84th minute, Anastasia Shlapakova could have brought the score to a big one, noticing the goalkeeper's careless exit from the gate, but her attempt to throw the ball over Sanzharovskaya was unsuccessful.
In the final minutes, the coaches made a series of substitutions to refresh the game: so Dynamo got Irina Dricheva and Isidora Vuchkovich, who replaced Shlapakova and Lyubimova, respectively. Despite the rare attempts of Krasnodar to reduce the gap, at the right moment Dynamo goalkeeper Anastasia Ananyeva confidently coped with the only dangerous blow of Krasnodar from the center of the penalty area.
The final whistle of Ksenia Goryacheva nevertheless recorded a confident victory for Dynamo, which allowed the blue and white to take another step up the Super League standings.
