The Dynamo youth team beat Krasnodar and returned to the top three

The game with Krasnodar became a real test for young Dynamo football players – the match with the leader of the Youth League was supposed to give an answer: will the blue and white be able to keep up with the top three and compete for the highest places themselves.

And we must pay tribute to Oleg Gusev's wards, they passed this test brilliantly! If the first 15 minutes of the match were played in an equal game and even the first scoring moment was created by guests from the south of Russia (Arina Taranchenko made a gorgeous save on the goal ribbon!), then Dynamo football players were already playing.

Ekaterina Sergeeva used her first moment, who, after Anastasia Kovaleva's pass, passed the defender and shot past Krasnodar goalkeeper Vera Sanzharovskaya into the far corner of the goal. By the way, a few minutes later Kovaleva herself could have distinguished herself, but unlike her teammate, she did not send the ball past, but directly into the hands of the goalkeeper. During the first half, the Belarusian football player had several more opportunities to record at least one ball, but somewhere she was unlucky, and somewhere Anastasia herself lacked calm in the final stage of the attack.

After this, Krasnodar tried to recoup quickly, but the Dynamo defense calmly coped with the attacks of the guests and responded with no less dangerous, and most importantly effective attacks. One of them ended with the second goal of Dynamo – it's all the same Sergeeva, having received a gorgeous cutting pass from Irina Dricheva, coolly sorted out the duel with Sanzharovskaya and made a double! The attacker could have swung for a hat-trick, but her shot closer to the break from a killer position turned out to be too inaccurate.

But even without Sergeyeva's blows, the Dynamo youth team had to leave for a break with a large score in their favor. That's just another one hundred percent moment was not realized by Svetlana Vinnikova, whose blow was parried by Sanzharovskaya almost from the 11-meter mark.

And although the last attack in the first half of the meeting turned out to be for Krasnodar, which even managed to earn a corner before the break, dynamovki took a break with an advantage in the score and the game.

The second half of the match turned out to be far from as spectacular and certainly not as productive as the first. In many respects, of course, due to the fact that Dynamo was already clearly playing by the score and definitely did not plan to give their guests chances to save this game. This is evidenced by at least the first substitution in the match, which occurred as part of the blue and white team during the break - defense player Arina Volobuyeva took the place of Kovaleva, who actively attacked in the first half.

By the way, the replacement largely justified itself from the first minutes of the second half – the rested Krasnodar players went ahead, they had moments, and Dynamo goalkeeper Arina Taranchenko had to join the game more and more often.

Dynamo attacked not so often, but their moments looked even more dangerous than Krasnodar. The goalkeeper of the Southerners was able to repel Daniella Petrova's shot only with her fist in a jump, Alexandra Shevchenko's long–range shot also had to be fixed by Vera Sanzharovskaya, but Varvara Demidova missed the most real chance to put an end to the game, she punched under the crossbar - this Sanzharovskaya shot with difficulty, but transferred to the corner. In the same attack, after giving a corner, Sergeeva could have scored again, but after a rebound from someone from Krasnodar, the ball went to the second corner in a row.

dynamovkam failed to put a bright spot, but hardly anyone was dissatisfied with this circumstance. The main thing happened – Dynamo won a landslide victory over the leader of the Youth League standings and finally returned to the top 3 of the championship!
