Team status
In the previous round, the blue and white team went to St. Petersburg for a match with Zenit Housing and Communal Services. From the first minutes of the meeting, dynamovki indicated their intention to play the first number. Already in the 4th minute, Ksenia Pilnikova made a solo pass through the central zone and struck a solid blow from 25 meters — the ball passed a few centimeters above the crossbar.
The starting segment was completely left to the guests: by the 5th minute, Oleg Gusev's wards organized a series of protracted attacks, which ended with several dangerous shots on target. Zenit was able to respond with its attack only by the 10th minute, but Dynamo's defensive line acted in an organized manner, eliminating the threat even on the approaches to the penalty area.
By the 12th minute, the game had become tougher. Zenit players began to use minor foul tactics more often, including in the center of the field, where Ekaterina Sergeeva received a painful blow after one of the collisions. Gradually, the hostesses of the field were able to level the game: by the middle of the first half, Zenit had more possession of the ball and controlled the territory, while Dynamo responded with sharp counterattacks.
In the 32nd minute, Pilnikova took over the game again: she beat several Zenit players on dribbling and delivered a powerful blow, which the home goalkeeper Daria Selikhova managed to transfer to the corner only in a jump. The response of the Petersburgers followed in the 36th minute: after a corner kick, a headbutt followed, which Arina Taranchenko confidently recorded. Two minutes later, the Dynamo goalkeeper came back into the game: first she deflected a blow from Yulia Soboleva, and then took the ball at the feet of her rivals, not allowing them to play on finishing. Despite the abundance of moments, the first half ended with a score of 0:0.
The second half of the meeting began with the massive pressure of our girls. In the 48th minute, Sergeeva twisted the ball into the far corner, but Selikhova coped with the threat. Three minutes later, Irina Dricheva struck a long—range shot just under the crossbar - and again the Zenit goalkeeper transferred the ball to the corner.
At the 58th minute, the Dynamo coaching staff made the first substitution: Daria Sorokina entered the field instead of Pilnikova. Immediately after that, Daria Guskova's serve-kick almost became effective — Selikhova had to knock the ball out from under the crossbar to the next corner.
The persistence of the blue and white team bore fruit in the 67th minute. The protracted combination ended with the transfer of Sergeeva to Dricheva, who with a powerful shot from the goalkeeper's line sent the ball exactly to the far "nine" — 1:0!
By the 74th minute, Zenit increased the pressure, trying to recoup, but the Muscovites' defense did not malfunction. In the 76th minute, Varvara Demidova could have doubled the advantage, but Selikhova repelled her blow with her fingertips.
However, it was this standard that became the scoring standard: Demidova executed an accurate feed into the penalty area, and Sergeeva sent the ball into the net with a blow of her head — 2:0!
The final assault of the hostesses in the main and added time did not bring them success.
— We were preparing for a difficult game, we knew that Zenit is a good team, equipped with good players. That's how the match turned out – tense, nervous, but it's good that it ended like this, we won. It was not possible to realize the moments in the first half, there was not enough composure.
During the break, they asked to pay attention to certain things, in particular, to hit more. In the second half, the game was already much more interesting, and there were more strikes, thanks to which we were able to score twice," explained Oleg Gusev, the head coach of the Dynamo youth team, due to which the team managed to transform after the break and tip the scales in their favor.
The goalkeeper of the blue and white A Rina Taranchenko, who kept her goal intact in this match, also shared her impressions of the victory in the Northern capital:
— I am happy that we have achieved such a convincing victory. I think it is deserved, we have endured. In the first half there was an equal game, the goalkeeper of the rivals Daria Selikhova played very well – if it hadn't been for her, we could have had more goals.
In the second half we had an advantage due to better physical fitness, and after the 60th minute the opponent got hooked.
The victory in St. Petersburg allowed Dynamo to maintain its leadership in the Youth League standings. Now the blue and white team shares first place with the capital CSKA, and it is with the army club that they will meet in the next round.
About the opponent, the history of the confrontation, the judging panel
The youth team of ZHFC CSKA is a rival of the blue and white in the 9th round and, as already mentioned, one of the two leaders of the Youth League this season, sharing first place in the table with Dynamo.
The capital's clubs have identical indicators in terms of points scored – 19, wins, draws and defeats – 6-1-1, and only in terms of the difference between goals scored and conceded, army football players outperform Dynamo – 23-6 against 18-7.
The wards of 37-year-old Dmitry Kozlov started almost flawlessly in the Youth League, losing points only twice, which is symbolic – with Moscow clubs. For the first time this happened in the 3rd round - in a home meeting with the capital's Chertanovo, the red and blue did not miss, but they themselves could not score, as a result 0:0.
The second loss of points, and more painful, occurred a round ago – the army team lost to Spartak Moscow on the road in Sokolniki. Moreover, the final 20 minutes of the match CSKA played in the majority after the removal of Violetta Kahramanzade for unsportsmanlike behavior. The goal from the penalty spot of midfielder Valeria Batyreva in the 55th minute remained the only one in the derby – 0:1.
In other meetings, CSKA was unstoppable – 6 wins and deserved leadership in the Youth League. The winning matches with Krylia Sovetov (4:1), Zvezda 2005 (8:1!) and Krasnodar (4:0) in the last round, a week before the game with Dynamo, turned out to be especially bright.
It is not surprising that with so many goals scored (23 goals is the second highest in the league), there are already enough players in the army team who have scored at least one goal this season. There are 11 of them in CSKA – a whole team of scorers. But there is only one clear leader among them – 18-year-old striker Kristina Kutafina, who scored 5 goals in 8 games. By the way, the same as the best scorer of Dynamo Eva Rabchenyuk. Both players are in the top 3 scorers of the Youth League.
But the army club under the leadership of a young specialist Dmitry Kozlov is not only strong in attack. It is worth noting the game in the defense of the red and blue - in 8 meetings they conceded only 6 goals, and this is the best indicator in the league along with Spartak and Zenit. Recall that Dynamo has one more missed ball.
In general, the history of the confrontation between the two capital clubs looks equal. If we take all the matches played by CSKA and Dynamo, then there is complete equality: 5 wins and 5 losses each. And even if we take into account only the meetings within the framework of the Youth League, then here the score is equal: 3 wins for Dynamo – 3 wins for CSKA. And only in terms of the difference between goals scored and goals conceded, a slight advantage is on the side of the army – 13-18.
If there are no former representatives of CSKA left in Dynamo this season, then there is still one ex-Dynamo in the army team. 16-year-old goalkeeper Olga Shelgunova played for the Dynamo Academy junior teams a couple of seasons ago, and now she has entered the CSKA Youth League application for the 2026 season. True, the young football player has never played in the youth championship, but she helps the red and blue in another tournament – the SFL-girls under 18.
The new, already the 7th in history, meeting of the two clubs within the framework of the Youth League, which will be held in Novogorsk, will be served by the judging panel headed by Anna Tepaeva from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, who will be assisted by assistant judges Arina Samarina (St. Petersburg) and Anastasia Tisova (Moscow).
Previously, Tepaeva had already worked at Dynamo matches: in the Youth League – against Krylia Sovetov (2:1).
The balance of Dynamo victories and defeats under the refereeing of Tepaeva: 1 match – 1 win, goal difference 2-1.
