The guests responded to Irina Dricheva's accurate shot in the first half with a goal in compensated time, taking advantage of the numerical advantage after Daria Guskova was removed.
The home match against Krasnodar for Dynamo Moscow turned into a real swing with an overstretched ending. From the first minutes, Oleg Gusev's wards indicated their intention to take three points, bringing down a series of dangerous attacks on Veronika Bachurina's goal.
Already in the 5th minute, Eva Rabchenyuk had two one hundred percent chances to open an account. At first, her tight shot to the far corner passed a few centimeters from the bar, and then Eva jumped out one—on-one with the goalkeeper - Bachurina turned out to be stronger in this duel, saving her team from an imminent goal. The pressure of the blue and white only increased: in the 7th minute, Kristina Kubatkina dangerously executed a penalty, but the ball missed the target again. By the 9th minute, Ekaterina Sergeeva entered the game, whose accentuated blow fell right into the hands of the goalkeeper of the Southerners.
By the middle of the half, Krasnodar made an attempt to move the game away from its gates. In the 12th minute, the guests managed to create a good moment, but Dynamo goalkeeper Arina Taranchenko showed a confident reaction. Nevertheless, the initiative remained with the owners of the field. In the 17th minute, Alisa Klimova almost threw the ball under the crossbar, and only Bachurina's spectacular jump transferred it to the corner. Despite several organized attacks by Krasnodar, the Dynamo defense acted smoothly, and Taranchenko reliably fixed the balls after hitting the near corner.
At the 30th minute, the game switched to opposite courses. Dynamo's moments looked sharper, and in the 32nd minute this perseverance bore fruit. Ekaterina Sergeeva took the ball in the center of the field, masterfully dispersed the attack and gave a timely transfer to the left flank to Irina Dricheva. Irina moved forward at speed and drove the ball into the near "nine" with a powerful blow — 1:0!
Krasnodar responded immediately. Sofia Denisko earned a dangerous standard, which was performed by Alina Godyna, but the ball passed above the goal. The last ten minutes of the first half turned out to be extremely nervous. The degree of struggle grew, which resulted in yellow cards for Ekaterina Barashkova and Daria Guskova. In the 45th minute, Dynamo was saved only by the crossbar after the corner was drawn, and already in added time Taranchenko made the fans nervous, missing the ball for a moment after a long shot, but managing to pick it up before the opponents took advantage of the mistake.
The second half began under the dictation of the guests. Krasnodar gave out a powerful segment, creating two dangerous moments in a row and organizing a real "fire" in the penalty area of Muscovites. The Dynamo coaching staff reacted to this with a substitution: in the 60th minute, instead of Ksenia Pilnikova, Yana Nesterenko came out. A fresh player could have distinguished herself with the first touch — Yana did a great job in the penalty area, but a few centimeters separated her from the goal.
By the 75th minute, the pace of the game remained high, but both teams began to commit inaccuracies in the final stage. The end of the match turned into a heroic defense of their goal for the blue and white. In the 77th minute, something fantastic happened: the ball categorically refused to cross the Dynamo goal line after a series of shots at point-blank range. A minute later, Denisko again did not use the right chance, punching past.
The key moment occurred in the 89th minute - Daria Guskova received a second yellow card and was removed from the field. Remaining in the minority, Dynamo could not keep the winning score. In the second compensated minute, Eva Efimova restored balance with an accurate shot into the near corner from outside the penalty area — 1:1.
In the remaining time, Krasnodar tried to snatch victory. Krasnodar's final attack in the 90+6th minute ended with a confident save by Arina Taranchenko, and Kristina Varyanitsa's final whistle recorded a productive draw.
