In the previous round, the blue and white went to their last outing of the season - to Kazan for a match with ZHFC Rubin. The victory in the game with the Kazan team provided the blue and white medals of the Youth League, at least bronze. And even if the situation is successful, there will be an exit to second place and even a chance to return to the championship race with Lokomotiv Moscow.

How much these thoughts put pressure on Oleg Gusev's wards was shown by the meeting itself in the capital of Tatarstan, especially its first part. According to the head coach and the players themselves after the final whistle, the match with Kazan turned out to be one of the hardest for our girls all season.

From the very first minutes, Rubin took the initiative and practically did not let Dynamo football players into their half of the field. Needless to say, if the blue and white carried out their first attack only in the 17th minute of the match. At the same time, the Cossacks themselves attacked well and could even open an account at some point.

Every now and then the hostesses took advantage of mistakes and marriage in the actions of rivals, and only the super-reliable game of the goalkeeper of the blue and white Arina Taranchenko prevented this from happening.

Only closer to the middle of the half, the Muscovites were able to extinguish the attacking onslaught of the Kazan team and conduct some good attacks. At firstVarvara Demidova struck dangerously into the near corner – at this moment the goalkeeper of "Rubin" Yesenia Yeremeyeva helped out, thenSvetlana Vinnikova improved her position in the fight against the defender of the Kazan team and whipped out from under the player - however, this time the ball went above the goal.

Fortunately, this time the rule "if you don't score, they score for you" worked not against Dynamo, but against Rubin. After Rubin's next bulk almost ended with a goal against Taranchenko, one of the Kazan football players picked up the ball in the Dynamo penalty area and struck almost point-blank range, but hit the defender of the blue and white, Dynamovki carried out their scoring attack. And they did it at the most opportune moment!

Already in the added time, the same Demidova found Ekaterina Sergeeva with an accurate feed into the Rubin penalty area, who technically handled the ball in the fight with the defender and managed to pass it a little to the left, where she was already waiting for himIrina Dricheva. The midfielder, without hesitation, attached herself to the ball and sent it exactly under the crossbar of Yeremeyeva's goal – 1:0!

Interestingly, immediately after the missed goal, Ilya Ulyanin's wards could have equalized the score – but Arina Taranchenko played brilliantly again, who neutralized the most dangerous blow of Lyali Kholmatova. By the way, by this time our team had suffered a loss – in the 35th minute, defender Daria Guskova, who was replaced by Alexandra Shevchenko, left the field ahead of schedule due to damage. Without discounts, the girls had a really difficult time.

In the second half, although there were no goals, the game did not become less tense and nervous for our team. It seemed to be held at a calm pace, and Dynamo seemed to be in full control of the match. Only now this calmness was deceptive: at any moment it could collapse due to another counterattack by the home team, who, in fairness of the rage, still played one goal in this match.

Well, Oleg Gusev's team, even in such difficult conditions, including weather, again showed its character and achieved a well-deserved award. Dynamovki held such a necessary advantage for themselves in the score and three years later won the medals of the Youth League! It remains only to find out what dignity they will end up with.

— It's not an easy game, it's hard, and we were preparing for such a game. Something turned out, something did not, but in general I am happy with the result and the game. Rubin is definitely out of place. I said after the previous match that we have a difficult league, there are no easy teams. Someone was unlucky, somewhere else some factors played a role, but in general the level of the teams is high. Even those who close the standings.

We disassembled the same "Rubin" separately, showed the girls that this is a combat-ready team, with a good selection of performers, plus now they have lowered the players from the main team. So the game turned out to be difficult in any case," Oleg Gusev, the head coach of the Dynamo youth football team, objectively assessed the match played by his wards, as always.

The midfielder of the blue and white Tatyana Danilochkina supported the mentor in assessing the game of her team and rivals:

— It wasn't our best game. I will say more, it was one of the most difficult games of the whole season.  Rubin was pleasantly surprised, the team is clearly out of place. True, it was insanely hard. At the same time, we did not have a lack of attunement to the cossacks, but it was really not easy.

We didn't play our game, we fought back more, especially at the end we were pressed hard. And in the beginning, about twenty minutes, we gave the initiative to the owners. But the main thing is that we took three points and move on.

Now, in order not to miss the second place, which the blue and white occupy before the final round, they need to win at home against CSKA. They will also be helped to keep the second place by a draw or a defeat of Krasnodar, which will have to go to Sapsan Arena to the current champion of the Youth League, Lokomotiv Moscow.

The youth team of ZHFC CSKA – the rival of the blue and white in the last match of the season – a round ago claimed the bronze medals of the Youth League-2025. But, having lost in the last minutes to the capital's Lokomotiv in its championship match, the army football players lost their chances for awards and now risk performing worse than last season.

Recall that in the 2024 season, the CSKA youth team finished the season in fourth place, 10 points behind Zenit, which won bronze. Now, although the army remains on the same fourth line, Dmitry Nechaev's team can finish the season a couple of lines lower than a year ago. In the event of a defeat or even a draw, the red and blue can be bypassed in the standings by the same Zenit St. Petersburg and Spartak Moscow. After all, their rivals in the last round are no match for the army – the blue-white-blues will play on the road with the Moscow Chertanovo, and the red-whites will go to the banks of the Don to the main outsider of the championship Rostov. So in the upcoming match in Novogorsk with Dynamo, young army women can only rely on themselves.

And here, of course, it should be noted that this is a completely unattainable goal for the CSKA youth team. Nechaev's wards went pretty smoothly and steadily through the season: they had 10 wins and 3 draws (twice with Spartak and Krylia Sovetov), and 6 defeats, mostly from the championship leaders, including Dynamo (0:1) in the first round. Then in Novogorsk, everything was decided by Svetlana Vinnikova's single ball in the 51st minute.

And so the army had a good winless streak during the season, the longest was 5 matches – 2 wins and 3 draws. The Red-and-blue team won 5 major victories, including defeats of Master Saturn, Rubin, and Zenit (all 3-0). And, of course, such matches as with Rostov and Wings of the Soviets stand apart. In the first, the army football players "shipped" 11 (!) balls to the Rostov women and won with a total score of 11:2, in the second, they avenged the loss of points in Samara and sent 8 unanswered goals to the gates of the Samara team!

So everything is fine with the attack of the youth CSKA this season. It is no coincidence that the capital club is in the top 4 of the league in scoring goals - he has 42 of them in 19 matches. According to this indicator, the army is second only to Lokomotiv (62), Zenit (53) and Dynamo (45), but ahead of the Youth League medalist Krasnodar (28 in total) and Spartak (30).

Interestingly, with such an overall performance of the team, there are only two CSKA players in the top 25 scorers of the championship - striker Elina Kokoeva and defender (!) Maya Chizhevskaya, who scored 8 goals in 19 games. Which means, first of all, that the goals are distributed evenly among all the players of the team and anyone can shoot as part of the Muscovites.

Remembering how difficult the previous match with Rubin Kazan and the duel with the same army women in the first round were for Dynamo, there is clearly no reason to expect a comfortable game next Sunday.

By the way, if we talk about the statistics of personal meetings between Dynamo and CSKA, taking into account the friendly matches that have already been played a lot, then it is just in favor of the latter: 4 wins for the blue and white, 5 for the red and blue, the goal difference is 10-17, again in favor of the army team.

The new, already the 6th 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 Anastasia Varfolomeeva from Moscow, who will be assisted by assistant referees Victoria Terekhina (Omsk) and Victoria Garina (Khabarovsk).

Previously, Varfolomeeva has already worked on Dynamo matches: in the Youth League – twice against Chertanovo (2:1 and 6:2), Strogino (0:0), CSKA (1:3), Lokomotiv (0:1) and Krasnodar (2:0); in the Cup of Russia – againstStrogino (11:1); in the Super League – twice against Lokomotiv (1:0 and 4:1), Yenisei (3:0) and three times against Chertanovo (1:1, 2:0 and 2:1).

The balance of Dynamo victories and defeats under the refereeing of Varfolomeeva: 13 matches – 9 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, goal difference 35-11.
