Team status
The previous match against Ryazan-Airborne Forces was the final for our team in the first round of the Super League. The meeting in Ryazan was held in difficult weather conditions: in the second half of the game, a heavy downpour began, which led to the formation of puddles on the lawn and seriously complicated the players' work with the ball.
From the first minutes, Dynamo football players took the initiative, organizing a series of attacks and standard positions at the opponent's goal. The starting segment of the match was dominated by the blue and white, which led to the first goal scored already in the 8th minute. After a verified submission by Anastasia Kovaleva, the goalkeeper of the Ryazan team, Maria Svidunovich, made a mistake on the way out, which was used by Anastasia Shlapakova, who sent the ball into the net.
By the 12th minute, Dynamo's advantage in possession of the ball and the number of approaches to the Ryazan goal had become even more tangible. The Ryazan team tried to organize counterattacks, but the Dynamo defense acted unmistakably. By the middle of the first half, the pace of the game had decreased, while ball control still remained with Maxim Zinoviev's wards.
By the 32nd minute, the dominance of the blue and white in the half of the hostesses' field had become almost complete. The first serious episode at the gates of the Muscovites happened only in the 35th minute, and then because of some inconsistency in the actions of Yulia Myasnikova and Anastasia Ananyeva. It's good that everything turned out well for our team.
Immediately after that, the forward of Ryazan-Airborne Forces, Elena Zubkova, made a breakthrough to the goal and struck, which goalkeeper Anastasia Ananyeva transferred to the corner. Dynamo's retaliatory attack followed in the 41st minute: Tatyana Danilochkina struck a long-range shot, the ball missed the target. At the end of the first half, Daniela Basaeva, after the submission of Kristina Komissarova, hit her head with a free kick, the ball flew over the crossbar.
During the break, the Dynamo coaching staff made a replacement, releasing Isidora Vuchkovich on the field instead of Milena Lyubimova. By the beginning of the second half, the weather conditions worsened, and heavy rain began to fall on the stadium. However, this did not prevent the guests from increasing their advantage in the 60th minute: Kristina Komissarova served from the corner, and Yulia Bessolova clearly closed it – 2:0. In the 68th minute, Bessolova could have scored a double, but the goalkeeper of the hostesses fixed the ball.
By the 70th minute, the pace of the game had dropped again, which was taken advantage of by the hostesses, who reduced the gap in the score at the 79th minute. After giving a corner, Bessolova knocked the ball out of the penalty area, after which Natalia Perepechina hit the Dynamo goal with an accurate shot. A minute later, Perepechina again had the opportunity to distinguish herself after taking the ball from Kovaleva, but this time, after her shot, the ball did not hit the target.
In the 84th minute, Irina Dricheva could have closed all questions about the winner of the meeting, but her one-on–one exit did not end with a goal - Svidunovich deflected the blow. At the end of the match, the Ryazan team increased the pressure and tried to save the game: in the 88th minute Anna Dallakian struck a shot past the goal, and in the 90th + 1st minute, after a rebound from Basaeva, the ball still went over the front line.
The blue and white team survived until the final whistle and took away three full points from rainy Ryazan.

About the opponent
The next opponent of the blue and white is Spartak FC, the current Super League champion and recent winner of the Russian Super Cup.
After the first round, Vadim Kozlov's wards are located on the third line of the Super League standings, while the distance to the leading CSKA is already nine points. It is noteworthy that exactly the same separates Spartak from Dynamo, but, as they say, there is a nuance.
The start of the championship was preceded by an active transfer campaign, during which the team was joined by defender Anna Belomyttseva, ex-Chertanovo football player Kira Petukhova, who finished last season with 11 goals, and attacking midfielder Gabriela Gzhivinska. The latter moved from Zenit to the status of the top scorer of the 2025 league. The rotation of the squad was due not only to planned reinforcement, but also to injuries to key players: defender Lydia Kulish underwent surgery, and Tiyana Filipovic, recognized as the best player of 2025, suffered a foot fracture.
Despite this, the red and white started the season with a shock series of four matches, in which they won three victories and drew once. In the fifth match, they were waiting for a derby with Dynamo, which, as now, also took place on the blue and white home field in Novogorsk.
The score in the match was opened already at the 30th second: after a corner in the first attack, Anna Kozhnikova received the ball at the far post and sent it into the goal, making the fastest goal in the club history of Spartak. In the 16th minute, the situation of Dynamo was complicated by the removal of Anastasia Kovaleva for an aggressive foul, which left the team outnumbered early. Before the break, Spartak had the opportunity to increase the advantage, but after the blows of Natalia Mashina and Gabriela Gzhivinskaya, the ball hit the frame of the goal.
The final result in the second half of the meeting was set by Lina Yakupova, who sent the ball into an empty net. Spartak's victory (2:0) was the fifth in a row for the red-whites in the history of face-to-face confrontation with the Dynamo team.
After the success in the derby, Kozlov's wards gave out a win-win streak of six more matches, winning three victories and drawing three times. The team suffered its first defeat in the championship only in the 13th round, losing away to CSKA (1:3).
But Spartak knows no defeats in cup tournaments in 2026. Firstly, the red and white have already won one trophy this season — on June 13 in the match for the Russian Super Cup they beat CSKA (1:0) thanks to Lara Ivanusha's goal.
In the second, longer cup tournament, in the 1/8 finals of the Cup of Russia, Pari NN was defeated away with a score of 9:0, where Natalia Mashina scored a hat-trick, and Gabriela Gzhivinska and Natalia Morozova scored a double.
So, in whatever state and mood Spartak approaches the upcoming derby, it has no equal in the games this year.
