Team status

In the previous round, the blue and white played on the road with the youth team of FC Rostov, the main outsider of the Youth League-2025. The first round match in Novogorsk ended with a score of 7:0 in favor of Dynamo, spectators and fans saw seven goals in Novoshakhtinsk, where the return game was held. However, this time the authors of all the goals were not only dynamovki.

Oleg Gusev's wards did not delay scoring goals and scored the first one by the 10th minute - through the efforts of Valeria Azeeva and Alexandra Shevchenko, who successfully used the rebound from the defender of Rostov after shooting her teammate.

But the next ball from our young football players had to wait 20 minutes, but the goal turned out to be a sight. At the 30th minuteSvetlana Vinnikova unexpectedly for the Rostov defenders ran from deep into Irina Dricheva's serve from the corner and simply drove the ball with her head into the net of her former team, for which she played last season. The score 2:0 did not change before the break, but it turned out that most of the team's goals were saved for the second half of the meeting.

To begin with, the blue and white, unwittingly, gave this match an intrigue. Dynamo central defenderAnna Chudilina, trying to knock the ball out of the penalty area, drove over the legs of Sofia Shabarshina and earned a completely optional penalty. The captain of the Rostov team Ekaterina Pinegina clearly implemented it and reduced the score to a minimum – 2:1…

Fortunately, the intrigue did not last long: a couple of minutes after the goal of the Rostov women, Shevchenko successfully put her foot under the feed from the cornerVarvara Demidova returned to the team a comfortable two-goal advantage, and five minutes later Alexandra scored a hat–trick in general - this time with a beautiful long-range shot into the "nine" of the Rostov gate.

With the score 4:1 in favor of Dynamo, the Rostov team had a good chance to reduce the gap again, but the goalkeeper and captain of the blue and white in this game, Maria Leontieva, did not allow this to happen. The Dynamo keeper made a great save after being hit by the same Shabarshina and deprived her rivals of the last hope of salvation.

In the remaining time, Gusev's wards scored twice more: first, Dricheva wound up the Rostov defender and threw goalkeeper Arina Sarantseva into the far corner with a smart parachute, and then Vinnikova put an end to the match by scoring a double against the former team.

— It's good that we won, so the emotions are positive. There were difficult weather conditions, there is a strong and combative team here, despite the result. So we are doubly glad that everything turned out so well for us.

During the break, they asked the girls to play their game. Taking into account the weather conditions and the fact that not so many players were brought to the match in Novoshakhtinsk, we distributed our forces in such a way that everyone could take part in the match, including the reserve goalkeeper," Oleg Gusev, head coach of the Dynamo youth team, summed up the meeting in Novoshakhtinsk.

The final score of the match 6:1 meant the fifth victory in a row for the Dynamo youth team and the exit, albeit temporary, to the first place in the Youth League standings! A little later, Lokomotiv Moscow won their match and still moved the blue and white from the top of the table.

But the whole fight is ahead, we are waiting for an exciting end of the season in the youth championship!

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

The youth team of the FC Krylia Sovetov– the rival of the blue and white in the 15th round, is another outsider of the Youth League this season.

But this was not always the case. The Samara team spent its first season in the Youth League in 2022 and became the same debutant of the tournament as the Moscow Dynamo. And like the blue and white, the Volga girls, led by Galina Komarova, won medals in their debut season - in the fight for the top three, they lost only to champion Lokomotiv and vice-champion Dynamo.

However, the Samara club frankly failed the next season: Krylia took the last place in the Youth League, having won only two victories.

Since the 2024 season, Krylia Sovetov has been headed by Maria Cherepanova. Prior to this season, the 30-year-old specialist worked with the youth teams of the academy of the Samara club. Under her leadership, Samara women performed much better in 2024 than a year earlier: first they made it to the final stage for the teams that took places from 1-8 in the first part of the championship, and already there in matches with the best clubs of the season they took the final 7th place, ahead of our youth team, which then completed the championship on the 10th line.

But this season Cherepanova's wards are clearly below their capabilities: only one victory (over Chertanovo at home) and 4 draws, including 2:2 with Zenit and 1:1 with CSKA, which just confirms that the capabilities of the Samara team clearly do not correspond to the place in the the table.

One of the main problem areas of the "Wings of the Soviets" this season is the defensive game. For 13 matches played, Volzhanki conceded 44 goals, that is, almost 3.5 goals on average per game! So the Samara team approaches the match with Dynamo with a series of three defeats in a row, in which they conceded 4 goals each: 0:4 with Spartak, 1:4 with Zenit and 0:4 with Lokomotiv…

And then there's the away match, in which Krylia has never won this season – just one draw (1:1 with Rostov, the worst team of the season) and 5 defeats, and all the big ones: 0:5 from Spartak, 2:10 (!) from Loko, 1:4 from Master Saturn, 0:3 from Krasnodar, 1:4 from Zenit.

If you look only at the results of the club from Samara this year, it seems obvious that Dynamo is a clear favorite in the upcoming meeting. However, it seemed so before the first match of the two teams at the beginning of the season, but the game was not so simple for the blue and white.

Twice during the first half, Samara football players took the lead, twice in the same half the dynamos won back, and only in the second half of the match they were able to break the resistance of the hostesses of the field. Anastasia Kovaleva scored the winning, third, goal then, and Maria Zernikova put an end to the game already in added time, setting the final score in the match – 4:2. So at least the wards of Maria Cherepanova do not plan to surrender in Novogorsk.

However, Dynamo still has a history of personal meetings with the Wings of the Soviets: 4 wins, 4 draws, 0 defeats, a goal difference of 20-6.
