The capital derby in the framework of the 9th round of the Youth League ended with the defeat of the blue and white (1:3).
The confrontation between Moscow Dynamo and CSKA in the framework of the next round began without a long reconnaissance: by the 5th minute the teams had exchanged sharp attacks. As part of the blue and white team, Milena Lyubimova and Eva Rabchenyuk became the most active at the start, whose joint actions led to the creation of the first truly dangerous moment at the gate of the guests.
The debut of the match took place in a high dense fight, tough single combats and frequent violations of the rules. Already at the 8th minute, the game was suspended due to an injury to CSKA striker Kristina Kutafina - the damage turned out to be so serious that the young football player was forced to leave the field. Three minutes after the resumption of the game, the army club immediately organized a massive attack, forcing the Dynamo defense to act with utmost tension in order to eliminate the threat and ... come forward.
Irina Dricheva's submission from the corner in the 15th minute of the meeting was effective: Lyubimova won the position and struck with her head, CSKA goalkeeper Valeria Makunkina deflected the ball in front of her, but Ekaterina Sergeeva was the first to finish off. The forward sent a projectile exactly under the crossbar — 1:0!
After the goal scored, the advantage passed to the home team, although according to the statistics of possession of the ball in this segment, CSKA was ahead. By the 22nd minute, the guests responded with a series of attacks, creating two moments in a row, but in both cases the finishing blows missed the target. In the 26th minute, Marina Achoyan attempted to hit the far corner of the Dynamo goal with a shot from a distance, but the ball again missed the target.
By the end of half an hour of the game, Dynamo began to act very harshly, which resulted in a series of joints and fouls. In the 35th minute, CSKA had a real chance to even the score: Valeria Menyailova went one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but Arina Taranchenko saved her team by deflecting a blow.
At the end of the half, the army club continued to exert pressure through the standards: in the 39th minute, Achoyan hit her head after a corner kick, but the ball went above the goal. In the 44th minute, Dricheva could already increase the gap by trying to throw Makunkina out of the gate, but the ball flew over the crossbar.
In the time compensated for the first half, another shot by Achoyan also turned out to be inaccurate.
The second half of the meeting began with personnel changes: in the Dynamo lineup, Yana Nesterenko took the field instead of Milena Lyubimova. In the 50th minute, Maya Chizhevskaya scored a dangerous long-range shot, after which the ball passed a few centimeters above the goal frame.
The pressure of CSKA brought the result in the 52nd minute: Achoyan made a pass to the goal to Valeria Bylichkina, who in one touch sent the ball into the net, restoring balance – 1:1.
Dynamovki became more active, trying to regain the initiative and earning a series of corner kicks. However, in the 60th minute, the chief referee Anna Tepaeva fixed the game with her hand in the penalty area from Anastasia Buchatskaya and awarded a penalty. Elizaveta Danilova coolly realized an eleven—meter shot, sending the ball to the bottom corner of the goal - 1:2.
In an attempt to refresh the game, the Dynamo coaching staff made a series of double substitutions: Tatyana Chetvertnykh and Alina Gagieva came out in the 64th minute, Tatyana Semenova and Mariana Stepanova in the 73rd, and Sofia Kolegova and Maria Zernikova in the 79th.
In the final ten minutes, the pace of the game decreased, there were practically no dangerous moments due to constant stops. But the ending did not remain without a goal.
If in the 87th minute Taranchenko again proved herself, having pulled out the team after hitting the far corner, then a couple of minutes later the Dynamo goalkeeper did not have time to get to the ball when trying to play outside the penalty area, which was used by Camilla Girfanova, who sent the projectile into an empty goal.
The final whistle fixed the final score 1:3 in favor of CSKA.
