Team status
In the previous match, which was played two weeks ago, Dynamo met at Sapsan Arena with the main competitor in the fight for the gold medals of the Youth League – FC Lokomotiv. The capital derby could not only bring one of the teams three points, but also sole leadership in the Youth League standings. The Moscow teams approached the face-to-face meeting with the same number of points.
Despite the increased responsibility and pressure, the beginning of the game was left to the railwaywomen. They created their first and immediately scoring moment already in the 2nd minute - blue and white saved for the first and far from the last timeArina Taranchenko.
After such a start, the hostesses took the initiative into their own hands, which they did not give up until almost the end of the meeting. Dynamovki, up to a certain point, confidently restrained the onslaught of railway workers, despite a whole series of unpleasant injuries that Daria Guskova, Ekaterina Sergeeva and Valeria Azeeva received during the first half.
Unfortunately, the red-greens were able to realize their tangible advantage just before the break. In the 44th minute, after Polina Pavlova hit the post, Maria Naibich managed to finish off the ball first and sent it into the Dynamo gate without interference – 0:1…
Moreover, Lokomotiv could consolidate the success in the added time, but this time the crossbar played for the blue and white.
The second half didn't turn out to be as spectacular. The reason for this was another ball, which was scored by Nikolai Kovardaev's wards a few minutes after the resumption of the game. At the 54th minute, the captain of Loko, Daria Golovina, found herself alone in the Dynamo penalty area and shot Taranchenko's goal from the 11-meter mark – 0:2, which was almost impossible to win back with a team like Lokomotiv.
Dynamo missed an incredible chance to return to the game just two minutes after the second goal of the railwaywomen, when Varvara Demidova fired a cannon shot from a free kick sent the ball into the nine gates of the hostesses, but already Lokomotiv goalkeeper Anna Berestovitskaya in a beautiful jump beat it off for a corner.
The blue and white missed another opportunity to revive the intrigue in the 74th minute. This time Angelina Golik again with a long–range shot checked the frame of the railwaywomen's gate - the crossbar and again without a goal!
Of course, the Lokomotiv players also had their moments, but Taranchenko and Dynamo defenders played reliably.
Valeria Azeeva had the last chance to turn the game around at the very end of the meeting. The Dynamo midfielder broke through to Berestovitskaya's goal and, instead of an accurate and strong shot into the corner, sent the ball into the goalkeeper's hands. The whistle of the chief referee of the meeting, Anna Kurkina, recorded the absolutely deserved victory of Nikolai Kovardaev's team.
— In the first half we had one tactical idea, so we played a little modestly somewhere. I liked the second half: there were good moments and approaches, we could have won back, but we couldn't do it. I won't say that the team got hooked in the match with Lokomotiv, maybe there were moments, but in general they played the game smoothly. There are no claims of dedication to the girls.
Then we will try to get three points in each of the remaining meetings, our goal remains the same," Oleg Gusev, head coach of the Dynamo youth football team, summed up the derby in Cherkizovo.
Arina Volobuyeva, the defender of our team, told about the difficulties faced by the blue and white in the match with the railway workers:
— We believe that there are no invincible teams, we always come out with the same attitude and are ready to fight for three points. The moments didn't work out today, we didn't work out well somewhere, luck wasn't on our side somewhere.
In general, the match turned out to be a combat match, it was evident from the large number of joints. Maybe it was hard psychologically, because the match was very important and decisive.
Thus, Moscow "Lokomotiv" after this victory broke out three points ahead and now the fate of the gold medals of the Youth League depends only on the team itself.
Wards Oleg Gusev, who by the will of the calendar got a two-week break with the final breakthrough in the championship, now have to win all the remaining matches and hope for a misfire of rivals. The schedule of games for both clubs at the end of the season is not the easiest.

About the opponent, the history of the confrontation, the judging panel
The youth team of ZHFC "Master-Saturn" – the rival of the blue and white in the 20th round - appeared on the football map of Russia in 2022, when it began to be based in the city of Yegoryevsk near Moscow. Since the same year, the club (then it was called Khimki-UOR No. 5) began to play in the Youth League.
In their debut season, the wards of head coach Dmitry Kudryashov, who now heads the Moscow region team "Master-Saturn", took 9th place in the youth championship in the Youth League among 13 participants. Interestingly, next season Kudryashov's team, which has already received its current name, repeated its last year's result. Having failed to break into the top 8 of the best teams in the league, the Yegoryevsk football players performed well at the final stage for 9-16 places, where they became the best and took the already familiar 9th place in the Youth League.
But last season, a club from the Moscow region finally made a small, but step forward. Master Saturn finished the group stage in 2nd place, ahead of the Chertanovo and Ural youth teams and losing only to Spartak. The team reached the final stage 1-10, where it took the final 8th place and was ahead of Dynamo Moscow, which finished that season only on the 10th line of the overall standings.
Kudryashov's team has made progress this season as well. The Moscow Region club will finish the season at least in 7th place, which means that it will achieve the best result in its history. Moreover, the players of "Master Saturn" can still compete for a historic result for themselves – a place in the top 4! The gap from CSKA, which occupies the 4th place, is only four points.
By the way, a week ago they could have participated in the championship race. The fact is that on September 28, they hosted the Moscow Lokomotiv in Yegoryevsk, which arrived in the city near Moscow as the leader of the Youth League standings.
And this status was confirmed by the Muscovites – the meeting ended with their major victory with a score of 3:0. Thus, Lokomotiv increased its gap from the blue and white already by six points.
Now the confrontation with the "Master Saturn" is also expected by the Moscow Dynamo. Historically, the confrontation between the two clubs has so far been unsuccessful for the blue and white - they won only one victory (in June 2023!), drew once and lost three times, including in the first round match of this season (0:1). Even the goal difference is not in favor of the Dynamo team – 5-9.
So, if Dmitry Kudryashov's team could not stop Lokomotiv rushing to its second consecutive championship, then it can do it with its main competitor.
The next, already the sixth, meeting of the clubs in the framework of the Youth League, which will be played on the field of VTB UTB Novogorsk-Dynamo, will be served by the referee team led by Alina Vakhrusheva (Moscow), who will be assisted by assistant referees Elena Polikarpova (Tambov) and Daria Tikhomirova (Yekaterinburg).
Previously, Vakhrusheva has already worked on Dynamo matches: in the Youth League – against Lokomotiv (0:2) and Chertanovo (1:3); in the Super League – against Lokomotiv (3:0), Chertanovo (0:2) and four times against CSKA (0:3, 0:1, 1:2 and 1:3); in the Winline Cup of Russia – also against Lokomotiv (1:2).
The balance of Dynamo victories and defeats under the refereeing of Vakhrusheva: 9 matches – 1 win, 8 losses, goal difference 7-18.
