Team status
In the previous round, the blue and white took on their peers from the Samara "Wings of the Soviets" on their field in Novogorsk. As in previous matches, Dynamo took the initiative from the first minutes, and already in the 5th minute Dana Dobrovitskaya struck a dangerous blow from behind the penalty box, which lacked a little accuracy. The pressure of the hostesses brought the result in the 12th minute: Eva Rabchenyuk was dumped on the penalty area line, and Daria Guskova confidently realized the penalty – 1:0!
Immediately after the goal, the conditions of the game were complicated by a heavy downpour, but the Dynamos continued to attack. In the 24th minute, after a shot by Ksenia Pilnikova, the ball passed next to the bar after a shot by Dobrovitskaya and a ricochet. In the middle of the half, the game leveled off, and in the 33rd minute an important episode occurred: after a long-range strike by Guskova, Elizaveta Shumakova deflected the ball, and Rabchenyuk scored on finishing, but the goal was canceled due to offside. Literally two minutes later, the Samara club equalized the score – Ekaterina Borsuk closed the shot from the flank with a blow to the near corner.
The end of the half was left to the guests: Arina Taranchenko twice saved the team after dangerous attacks, but in the first added minute Sofia Petina, after giving a corner kick, still put Krylia Sovetov ahead – 1:2.
The second half began with a substitution in the Dynamo lineup — 16-year-old Anastasia Chernikova made her debut for the blue and white. In the 52nd minute, the Muscovites again sent the ball into the net after finishing off Rabchenyuk, and again the goal was canceled due to the offside position.
In the 62nd minute, Kristina Kubatkina inaccurately executed a penalty, and in the 72nd minute, the Wings of the Soviets almost increased the gap, hitting the crossbar.
In the last ten minutes, the blue and white organized a bulk, regularly bringing the ball to the opponent's penalty area, but in the 88th minute the Samara women's defense eliminated the threat, and in the 90 + 4th minute Tatyana Chetvertnykh, who came on as a substitute, did not use the last chance, punching past the post.
The score has not changed – 2:1 in favor of the guests from Samara.
...
— The players have done everything that we work out in training, especially in the first 15 minutes, for which I would like to thank them. But there is a problem that we cannot solve in any way – this is the realization of scoring chances. We've been working on this component all week, but the game starts and some kind of grip sets in, moments are missed one by one. Plus, a series of injuries and illnesses affects.
Our task is to prepare players for the first team, Anastasia Chernikova, born in 2010, made her debut today. We will continue to work, Rubin is a very serious opponent ahead," Alexander Zayakin, acting head coach of the Dynamo youth team, commented on the results of the match.
Young debutante of Dynamo Anastasia Chernikova also shared her impressions of the debut match for the blue and white after the final whistle.:
— The coach gave instructions to get into the game actively: to play on the flank, to beat one-on-one. We tried to play forward all the time, we really wanted to even the score, so to some extent we fell into the game dictated by Krylia Sovetov. Then you need to correct the implementation of moments, connect more to the attack and tune in to each opponent.
After a largely sensational defeat on their own field, the Dynamos not only dropped out of the top three of the Youth League, but also fell back to the fifth line of the standings. Ahead is the match with Rubin Kazan, which occupies just the third place in the table, which means a great chance for the blue and white to regain their leading positions in the championship.
About the opponent, the history of the confrontation, the judging panel
The youth team of ZHFC Rubin– the opponent of the blue and white in the 18th round, is, as mentioned above, one of the leaders of the Youth League this season.
Ilya Ulyanin's wards are currently in third place in the standings, they definitely claim second place (three points behind Zenit) and are even able to take a swing at the championship race – they are separated by six points from the leading CSKA. Having another postponed game in reserve (with Moscow Chertanovo), it is more than possible to do this.
Interestingly, the season did not start well for the Kazan team at all. Football players from the capital of Tatarstan lost twice dry at the start of the championship – Zenit away and CSKA at home (both times 0:2). However, such an unfortunate start did not bother Ulyanin's wards at all, and then they practically did not know the bitterness of defeats: 14 matches – 11 wins, 2 draws and only one defeat! The goal difference is also impressive – 42-16. In the list of victories there are also significant: 3:2 over Spartak, 2:0 over Dynamo and Lokomotiv, 3:0 over CSKA, and even 9:0 over Yenisei in Krasnoyarsk! And the super-goal draw with Zenit (3:3) is worth a lot.
So finding Rubin in the top three of the youth championship should definitely not be surprising. For the entire championship, the Cossacks have only three defeats – the same number for Zenit, and less only for CSKA (2), one of which was inflicted on the Muscovites by Kazan football players. The team led by Ulyanin scores a lot – 42 goals, the 6th figure in the league, while missing a little - 20, also the 6th figure in the championship. Two Rubin players at once – strikers Diana Khakimova and Yana Kalmykova – are among the top 6 best scorers of the Youth League. Both scored 9 times, by the way, as much as Dynamo midfielder Ekaterina Sergeeva.
But in the history of the confrontation with the capital's Dynamo, the balance is clearly not in favor of the Kazan team. So, the teams held 7 meetings among themselves in the framework of the Youth League, five of which ended with victories of the blue and white and only two times stronger was Rubin. There have been no draws in this confrontation so far, so the upcoming meeting promises to be uncompromising.
The fact that in the first round in Kazan Rubin defeated Dynamo (2:0) thanks to goals in each of the halves will add to the principles. However, both victories were won by Kazan in their own field, which gives Dynamo a slight psychological advantage in the upcoming home meeting.
The new, already the eighth meeting of the Moscow and Kazan clubs in the Youth League, will be served by the judging panel headed by Elizaveta Gorbunova from Tver, who will be assisted by assistant judges Rusalina Chelokhsaeva and Maria Avdisova (both from Vladikavkaz).
Previously, Gorbunova did not work as a chief referee at Dynamo matches.
