Team status
The Dynamo youth team had to play its opening match in the 2025 season this time in Krasnodar – in a confrontation with the silver medalist of the Youth League 2024 and one of the favorites this year. In itself, a difficult trip to the south of Russia was complicated by the statistics of personal meetings between the two teams: for three seasons in the Youth League, the blue and white have not yet been able to win a single match against the young Krasnodar women - 3 draws and 3 defeats. They failed to do this even in their silver season in 2022: then there was also a draw away (1:1) and a defeat at home (1:3).
Dynamo failed to interrupt a series of failures at the start of the new season. In the starting lineup of the team updated this offseason, 4 blue-and-white debutantes appeared at once: defender Anna Chudilina, midfielders Angelina Golik and Maria Zernikova, striker Svetlana Vinnikova.
However, the youth team also received reinforcements: players with experience of playing for the main team of the Dynamo Housing and Communal Complex – Irina Dricheva, Ekaterina Sergeeva, Daniella Petrova, who received the captain's armband this season, the players who made up the backbone of the team last season – Valeria Azeeva, Arina Volobuyeva, Anastasia Gnennaya, Anastasia Orlova, Varvara Demidova. In general, it was very interesting to look at the new Dynamo youth team.
The status of the vice-champions of last season and the favorites of the current Krasnodar began to be confirmed from the first minutes – they immediately carried out several dangerous attacks, one of which ended with a goal by midfielder Yulia Beletskaya already in the 6th minute of the meeting. Literally in a couple of minutes, the hostesses could have doubled the score – but this time the blue and white were saved by the crossbar.
The undisputed heroine of the match as part of our team was goalkeeper Maria Leontieva. Only during the first half Masha twice saved her teammates from the right goals, in one of the episodes she got out even when going one-on-one. The Dynamo goalkeeper had no less work, turning into feats, in the second half of the game in Krasnodar.
After the break, it became noticeable that our girls finally got used to the beautiful Krasnodar arena and stopped only fighting back, but began to create their own good opportunities for taking the opponents' goal. Ekaterina Sergeeva and Svetlana Vinnikova had such chances, which really made the local fans worry.
However, the advantage was still held by the Krasnodar team and it was she who controlled the course of the game. It was especially tense at our gate in the middle of the second half. In the period from the 60th to the 70th minute, Maria Leontieva's new saves after long and medium strokes of Krasnodar, and the most dangerous penalty, and even a reflected penalty, fit in! When, at the 66th minute, the chief referee of the meeting, Ekaterina Manchenko, pointed to the 11-meter mark, the author of the only goal in the game at that time, Yulia Beletskaya, approached the ball. But the second time Krasnodar did not succeed in upsetting our goalkeeper – 18-year-old Leontieva first deflected a blow from a point, and then in a cat's jump covered the ball and did not allow any of the rivals to play on finishing.
If the disappointment of the housewives after such a missed chance can be understood, then the game in the attack of the Dynamo team in the opening match of the season did not please. The final whistle of the referee fixed the score 1:0, set at the very beginning of the meeting.
— We were preparing for a difficult game, we knew that it would not be easy: a difficult trip, a very good team in Krasnodar. Judging by the way the game was going, they were a little upset. There were good approaches, but in the end we were even unlucky somewhere. We need to work more in training on this moment.
In principle, despite the defeat, I can even bring this game to the asset. I think we will finalize and correct the situation, — this is how Oleg Gusev, the head coach of the Dynamo youth football Club, described the opening match of his players in the season.
Well, our girls will now have to open the scoring account this season in the next match – in the derby with the youth Chertanovo.

About the opponent, the history of the confrontation, the judging panel
The opponent of the blue and white in the 2nd round is the youth team of the Housing and Communal Complex "Chertanovo". Everyone has long known that teams of different ages from the Chertanovo football training system, and especially its graduates, perform with varying degrees of success at almost all levels of Russian football, both women's and men's, of course.
The Chertanov team in the Youth League is no exception. Even before the advent of the women's youth championship, the Chertanovo youth team successfully competed in the women's First League – it took 2nd place there (2018) and finished third three times (2016, 2017, 2019). Well, since the creation of the Youth League in 2021, Chertanovo has become a regular participant in this tournament. True, here the successes of young Muscovites are not so loud yet:
2021 – 4th place
2022 – 8th
2023 – 5th
2024 – 11th
As you can see, unlike the Dynamo youth team, which won silver medals of the Youth League in its debut season-2022, the Chertanov youth team cannot boast of medal successes in this tournament yet. However, given the number of pupils of the Chertanov football academy in that "silver" composition of the blue and white, no one will throw a stone in the direction of the famous metropolitan area for sure.
The Chertanovo youth team is headed by 52-year-old Albert Borzenkov, who has been working with the team since 2023.
The 2025 Chertanovo season, like Dynamo Moscow, began with a defeat – and also from the capital's club, FC Lokomotiv (1:4). The outcome of the meeting at the Sapsan Arena for Chertanovok was predetermined in the first half, when the current champions of the Youth League scored three unanswered goals. At the beginning of the second half, the railwaywomen sent the fourth ball to Varvara Dudorova's goal, but the guests could only answer with a "prestige goal" scored by Elizaveta Gruzdeva.
However, according to the games of the first round, it is, of course, premature to judge the strength of any team. But what should be noted for sure is that the team from the south of Moscow is one of the most uncomfortable rivals for Dynamo youth. The Blue and white won their last victory over Chertanovki in November 2022. By the way, it was in the match with Chertanovo, which then became the last of the season, that they won silver medals.
But in three more matches played, our rivals in the first derby of the season became the constant winners, so the balance of personal meetings is clearly not in favor of the blue and white:
+1 =0-3, the goal difference is 4:12.
The fifth game in the history of the confrontation between the two clubs in the framework of the Youth League will be served by the referee team led by Ekaterina Bibikova from Krasnodar, who will be assisted by assistant referees Yana Zemskova (Samara) and Olga Alexandrova (Kirov).
Earlier, Bibikova did not work as a chief referee at Dynamo matches.
