The blue and white team won a hard victory over the army youth team away (1:0) thanks to a single ball by Svetlana Vinnikova.
Immediately after a major victory over Rubin Kazan (3:0), Oleg Gusev's team had a difficult game on the road with CSKA youth. Neighbors in the standings were separated from each other by only one point, and therefore the derby promised to be hot. It turned out that way – both in terms of game moments and weather conditions.
If the first 10 minutes passed in an equal game – the teams exchanged blows, but none of them was dangerous, then closer to the middle of the half the initiative passed to the owners of the field. They created some good moments in which the goalkeeper of our team, Arina Taranchenko, had to enter the game. In general, the red-blue strikes in the first half of the meeting were enough, but there was no accuracy or any cunning in them, and therefore they did not pose any particular danger.
The most dangerous episode in the first half happened in the 33rd minute, when CSKA defender Maya Chizhevskaya broke into the Dynamo penalty area, went one-on-one with Taranchenko, and she hit the ball flying into the goal with her hands!
If the army team had at least one scoring chance, then Dynamo did not create anything similar in attack. The only thing that can be singled out is Daniella Petrova's shot after a rebound in the 17th minute of the meeting, but even there the ball passed above the goal.
The end of the half took place in the attacks of CSKA, the army team could even have sent the ball "to the locker room", if not for the next rescue of Arina Taranchenko, who transferred the ball to the corner after a parachute strike on her goal.
The second half was completely different from the first. Firstly, for some reason, the CSKA coaching staff replaced the goalkeepers during the break. Secondly, and this was partly due to the goalkeeper substitution, the goal was scored by ... Dynamo! At the 51st minute, Varvara Demidova's pass on the left edge ended with a solid shot on target of the CSKA goal, which Anna Avilova, who came on as a substitute, repelled, but right on the leg of Svetlana Vinnikova, who was running in. She just had to put her foot up and send the ball into an empty net, which she easily did – 1:0 in favor of Dynamo!
Stunned by this development of events, the army women took a short pause to recover, and then took the ball back and continued to aggressively besiege the Dynamo penalty area. However, as in the first half, a significant advantage in strikes and approaches to the opponents' goal was not converted in any way by the army football players, not only into goals, but simply in dangerous moments.
The most dangerous episode in this series was the episode in the 65th minute, when Valeria Menyailova, who remained alone in the Dynamo penalty area, could not get past Taranchenko, sending the ball right into the hands of our goalkeeper.
But it's a shame that Dynamo football players did not lag behind in this component either. At the 83rd minute, the same Vinnikova could have closed all questions about the winner, but did not realize the absolute moment – one-on-one exit. CSKA goalkeeper Avilova played confidently there.
However, there was still no punishment for such waste - dynamovki defended their minimal advantage and achieved a second victory in a row. And together with her, they bypassed CSKA in the standings and almost regained their place in the top three.
Keep it up, girls!
