Team status
In the previous round, the blue and white had their last away match of the season - in Perm against Zvezda–2005.
From the first minutes of the match, Dynamo took full control of the game. Already in the 2nd minute, Ekaterina Sergeeva could open the account, but the owners of the field were frankly lucky - after her kick, the ball was knocked back to the corner. By the 5th minute, a real hail of moments had already appeared at the gates of Zvezda-2005: Muscovites could score at least three times. It seemed that the goal was only a matter of time, but it was not so easy to open the saturated defense of the Permian women.
We must pay tribute to the goalkeeper of the hostesses Anna Sikorskaya – in the first half she was practically not mistaken. In the 8th minute, she neutralized another scoring episode, and three minutes later she confidently took the ball into her hands after a long shot by the same Sergeeva. In the 28th minute, the goalkeeper stepped out of her penalty area in time and knocked the ball out, disrupting the most dangerous one-on-one exit.
By the 34th minute, it became obvious that Dynamo had a huge advantage, but the team seemed to lack a bit of luck to finally open the account. As in the episode of Eva Rabchenyuk, who shot past Sikorskaya, who came out of the gate, but the ball treacherously passed a few centimeters from the far post. Numerous corners did not bring the desired result either.
The apogee of this bad luck was the 41st minute: after a series of sharp attacks, the crossbar came to the aid of the Perm team! As a result, the main referee of the match, Yulia Veselova, did not add anything to the first half, and the teams left for a break with zeros on the scoreboard.
Our team started the second half of the meeting with the same impact – the pressure resumed instantly. In the 47th minute, Daniella Petrova was in a killer position, but was able to earn only another corner. The blue and white continued to attack, while experiencing the same difficulties with implementation. Zvezda-2005 defended with all its might, almost forgetting about the attack: only 1-2 people were on duty in the other half of the field in the hope of rare counterattacks. By the 60th minute, the Dynamos had struck a huge number of blows, but the ball stubbornly did not go into the net.
The denouement came only in the 64th minute. Eva Rabchenyuk found Ekaterina Sergeeva with an excellent forward pass, who finally broke through the defense of the hostesses with an accurate shot into the near corner - 1:0! This goal instantly opened up the game, and just two minutes later Sergeeva acted as an assistant, bringing Alisa Klimova to a rendezvous with the goalkeeper. Alice was accurate, doubling the advantage of Dynamo – 2:0!
After that, the Muscovites caught a real courage. In the 70th minute, Rabchenyuk jumped out one-on-one, but she again failed to beat Sikorskaya, and then the goalkeeper Permyachek hardly transferred Kristina Kubatkina's tight shot to the bottom corner.
Having achieved a comfortable advantage, dynamovki began to play quietly on the score. At the same time, the moments did not disappear anywhere: soon Petrova shot past the goal from the penalty line, and then Rabchenyuk aimed at the near "nine", but the ball missed the target.
At the 85th minute, the coaching staffs of both teams made substitutions in order to calmly finish the meeting, but the blue and white were absolutely not going to leave without a third goal. In the 88th minute, Petrova executed a verified cross from the corner, and Yana Nesterenko drove the ball into the net with her head – 3:0!
Right up to the final whistle, the Dynamovki continued to attack, having issued a more than confident and absolutely deserved victory in Perm.
...
— We carried out the game plan that we had, but we faced a problem that we already had in the game against Rostov this season – we can't score, we don't realize a huge number of moments. Although the players do everything right in training and everything works out. Plus, the time zone change affected.
In the first half, the problem with the implementation was not solved. During the break, of course, it was possible to yell at the girls, but I did the opposite, I chose a different tactic. We tried to calm them down, because in general they did everything right, created moments, just let down the implementation.
In the second half, we continued our game, although we slightly modified the scheme on the field, but the main thing is that we achieved the result," Alexander Zayakin, acting head coach of the Dynamo youth football team, summed up after the game.
Ekaterina Sergeeva, the author of the blue and white winning goal, also shared her view of the game:
— We went to Perm with a fighting spirit, tuned in to a team that plays well on the home field, controls the ball. In many ways, that's why it was hard for us in the first half and we didn't manage to score. But by and large, they created problems for themselves.
The decisive period was in the second half, when we scored the first goal. After it, we exhaled, it became calmer to play.
The victory allowed the Dynamo youth team to remain on the sixth line of the standings, but our team will not be able to rise higher – the gap from the nearest opponent for the round before the end of the championship is four points.
About the opponent, the history of the confrontation, the judging panel
The youth team of FC Lokomotiv is the opponent of the blue and white in the 26th round – the current champion of the Youth League. It was with the railwaywomen that the blue and white fought for the gold medals last season, but at the finish of that championship they were still lost to the team from Cherkizov.
This season, Nikolai Kovardaev's wards will definitely not be able to repeat their success, since they are separated from the leading CSKA by as many as six points. However, unlike Dynamo, the red and green retain chances of winning medals - this time bronze. True, the fate of the awards largely depends on the rivals, rather than on Loko itself.
From St. Petersburg's Zenit, which takes third place before the final round, the railwaywomen are two points behind. But there is also Spartak, a point ahead of Lokomotiv. And the opponent of Kovardaev's team, if you rely on the standings, is the most difficult. If the railwaywomen have a difficult trip to Novogorsk to meet with Dynamo, then Spartak and Zenit host their rivals at home – Ryazan-Airborne Forces and Krylia Sovetov, respectively.
Yes, Dynamo itself has a rather local motivation – not to let Krasnodar go ahead and retain 6th place in the table, but actually Lokomotiv is quite a principled opponent. Firstly, the current Dynamo coach Alexander Zayakin previously headed the Loko youth team. And he did not just lead, but became the champion of the Youth League with her, just in the 2022 season, when the blue and white youth team under the leadership of Sergey Lavrentiev fought with him for gold.
In turn, the head coach of the red-greens Nikolai Kovardaev is not a stranger to Dynamo at all. In the 90s of the last century, he played for various teams of our football club - double, Dynamo-2 and even the main team, and after finishing his playing career for many years he worked at the Dynamo Academy, headed the blue and white youth team, with which he won silver and bronze medals of the youth championship, was a member of the the coaching staff of the main team under Dan Petrescu and Stanislav Cherchesov.
Secondly, it is from that season that the blue and white have not been able to beat the metropolitan railwaywomen in any way: only one draw (1:1) in 2025 and five defeats without a single goal scored! What is the game worth in the first round of this season, when Lokomotiv defeated Dynamo at Sapsan Arena with a score of 5:0…
And finally, there is a personal duel of players in this confrontation – the best scorers of their teams this season. So, Dynamo striker Eva Rabchenyuk has 15 goals on her account, while Loko striker Kristina Boldyreva scored 14 goals this year.
So, whatever one may say, there are enough intrigues in the match so that the capital derby, which ends the 2026 season for both teams, does not become ordinary. However, it is already safe to say that it will definitely not be like that.
The new 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 Fedina from Moscow, who will be assisted by assistant referees Elena Polikarpova and Anastasia Matveeva (both Tambov).
Earlier, Fedina had already worked on Dynamo matches: in the Super League – against Spartak (0:1) and Lokomotiv (1:1).
The balance of Dynamo victories and defeats under the refereeing of Fedina: 2 matches – 1 defeat, 1 draw, goal difference 1-2.
