Team status

Our team also held the previous tour in the native walls of Novogorsk, where it hosted the youth team of the Housing and Communal Complex "Krasnodar". The game with the leader of the Youth League was a real test for the Dynamo youth football players: a defeat would have further removed the blue and white from the top of the standings, a victory guaranteed a return to the top three.

Oleg Gusev's wards got down to business thoroughly: if the first 15 minutes of the match were held in equal play and even the first scoring moment was created by guests from the south of Russia (the team on the ribbon of the gate savedArina Taranchenko!), then the Dynamo football players took control of the game. I also played into the hands of our team and a quick goal by Ekaterina Sergeeva in the 18th minute. The 18-year-old blue and white striker used the very first scoring moment – after receiving a pass from Anastasia Kovaleva, she passed the defender and accurately shot past Krasnodar goalkeeper Vera Sanzharovskaya into the far corner of the goal.

After that, the Krasnodar team went on the attack in order to quickly recoup, but the Dynamo defenders coolly coped with the onslaughts of the guests, while not forgetting to respond with equally dangerous, and most importantly effective attacks.

So, at the 31st minute, one of them ended with the second Dynamo goal scored - the same Sergeeva, this time having received a gorgeous cutting pass from Irina Dricheva, sorted out the rosary in a duel with Sanzharovskaya and scored a double! The young striker could have scored a hat-trick, but her shot from a killer position just before the break turned out to be too inaccurate.

In addition to Sergeeva, the main character of Dynamo in the meeting with Krasnodar, another blue and white striker, Svetlana Vinnikova, could have distinguished herself in the first half. But dynamovki still could not leave for a break with a large score in their favor: Svetlana's blow was heroically repelled by Sanzharovskaya from almost 11-meter mark.

The second half of the match was not so spectacular – if only because the spectators in Novogorsk did not see a single goal from the teams. Dynamo played pragmatically on the score, Krasnodar seemed to have blocked the goalscoring option in this game.

And if we analyze more or less dangerous moments, then our football players looked more interesting in this component. The goalkeeper of the Southerners was able to repel Daniella Petrova's blow only with her fist in a jump, Vera Sanzharovskaya also had to enter the game at the moment with Alexandra Shevchenko's long-range shot, and she missed the most real chance to put a bold dot in the game.Varvara Demidova, who punched under the crossbar – Sanzharovskaya with difficulty, but still transferred this shot to the corner. But the Dynamo team achieved the most important thing – they brought the game to victory.

— The victory is very important for us, we dedicate it to all the employees of the club and the fans, of course. In general, we played well, and there will be minor flaws in every game, so we will calmly analyze the mistakes in the theoretical lesson and we will already be preparing for Chertanovo.

Was Ekaterina Sergeeva upset that she didn't score a hat-trick? Of course, I was upset! All our players are ambitious, everyone wants to score, especially Katya plays in the attack group," Oleg Gusev, the head coach of the Dynamo youth football team, summed up the match.

The blue and white striker and the author of the double in the goal of Krasnodar, Ekaterina Sergeeva, after the final whistle, told about her game and about the help from her teammates:

— I am very glad that I scored two goals! Many thanks to the girls for giving joy, such emotions!

The game turned out well, we had a lot of attacks, we could have scored more.

The victory over the leader of the Youth League standings allowed Dynamo not only to slow down the Southerners, but also to finally return to the top three of the youth championship.

About the opponent, the history of the confrontation, the judging panel

The opponent of the blue and white in the 13th round is the Chertanovo youth team – so far the best team among the worst, so to speak. The fact is that right now Chertanovki, who occupy the 8th place in the Youth League, lead a group of teams in the lower half of the table, which is noticeably behind the other group of clubs just claiming the top three and the championship.

So, the gap between Chertanovo and the seventh team of the championship, Spartak Moscow, is already 8 points, the gap from Dynamo, which occupies the third line, has already increased to 12 points. This is more than chertanovki scored for the whole season (10). Therefore, the team from the south of Moscow hardly has to hope to fight at least for bronze medals this season.

This year, Albert Borzenkov's wards are performing very unevenly. In 11 matches played, Chertanovki won only three victories (over Master Saturn, Rubin and Rostov) and drew once (with Zenit). In all other meetings, the Muscovites were defeated, including at home from Dynamo (2:4) in the first round. Interestingly, then the blue and white managed to recoup twice and get ahead during the first half, and only at the end of the second team Oleg Gusev removed all questions about the winner.

By the way, it is interesting that the statistics of the personal meetings of Dynamo and Chertanovo are still in favor of the Chertanovo team: they have 3 victories on their account, 2 on the account of the blue and white, they have not played a draw in the derby so far. The goal difference is also in favor of chertanovok – 8-14.

Another interesting point is that Dynamo has never won against Chertanovo at home since the beginning of performances in the Youth League: the blue and white have two defeats with a large number of missed goals on their field (1:4, 1:3). So it will be difficult to find a better moment to interrupt this unsuccessful series of home defeats in games with chertanovki than now.

And, of course, do not forget that the Dynamo youth team includes a lot of football players with Chertanov past: goalkeepers Arina Taranchenko and Diana Guzhova, defender Arina Volobuyeva, midfielders Irina Dricheva, Valeria Azeeva, Varvara Demidova and Tatyana Danilochkina. For all of them, the meeting with Chertanovo will be special. So we are waiting for the real capital derby this Sunday!
