Team status
In the previous round, the blue and white took in Novogorsk Housing and Communal Services "Rostov" - the main outsider at the start of the new season of the Youth League. Rostov women lost their two previous matches with a total score of 0:24: in the 1st round – Zenit (0:17) away, in the 2nd – Lokomotiv (0:7) at home…
The Novogorsk trip did not promise anything good to Rostov either. Unlike the yellow-blue, the Dynamo team, on the contrary, after an unsuccessful start in Krasnodar (0:1), already in the 2nd round won a bright victory in the derby on the road over Chertanovo (4:2). So, of course, the favorite in the match "Dynamo" and "Rostov" were exactly blue and white.
They began to justify their status from the very first minutes of the meeting: by the 22nd minute the score was 3:0 in favor of the Dynamo team, Ekaterina Sergeeva, Daniella Petrova andAngelina Golik. The score for the break could have been bigger, there were not just a lot of killer moments, but extremely many: the crossbarSvetlana Vinnikova, Golik's crossbar, an unforced penalty by the same Vinnikova and, finally, another crossbar from Sergeeva!
Despite the fact that the second half from the point of view of intrigue became a formality, there were even more goals scored in it than in the first half. But this time his heroines were two football players: Anastasia Gnennaya andAlexander Shevchenko was issued a double and set the final score of the match – 7:0.
The total advantage of Dynamo is eloquently evidenced by the post–match statistics: possession of the ball - 78% against 22%, shots on goal – 31:2, shots on target – 14:0 ... Everything is naturally in favor of our team.
Well, the main result of the game was that our youth team won one of the biggest victories in its history and became even closer to the fight for the top three!
And here's how Oleg Gusev, the head coach of the Dynamo Football Club, commented on the results of such a bright match:
— We won a big victory, but first of all we want to see the game that we play in training, what we demand from the girls. We didn't see some of this today, so some points will have to be finalized after this match. It's hard to evaluate the game in hot pursuit, but on the whole we played for a C, let's say. To be honest, the game plan was a little different.
Housing and Communal Services "Dynamo" has no other goals except the highest ones. I don't want to speak out loud, but we will strive for them.
As for the exit and playing of reserve players in the second half, we do not have a division into main and reserve players in our team, everyone is about the same level. In general, I am satisfied with the players who came on as substitutes.
One of the heroines of the meeting, Anastasia Gnennaya, who made her first double for the Dynamo Housing and Communal Complex, immediately after the final whistle told who she dedicated her goals to.:
— I will evaluate my game positively, I scored two beautiful goals, I am very happy about it. I dedicate them to Mom and dad, who invest a lot in my development.
The second victory in a row raised the Dynamo youth team to the 3rd place in the standings, with only three points separating the blue and white from the season's leader, Lokomotiv Housing and Communal Services. But ahead of Oleg Gusev's team is a difficult trip to Samara, where the local team is not losing on its own field this season.

About the opponent, the history of the confrontation and the return of dynamovka to his hometown, the judging panel
The opponent of the blue and white in the 4th round will be the youth team of the Krylia Sovetov Housing and Communal Complex, which debuted in the Youth League in the same season as the Dynamo Housing and Communal Complex in 2022. Prior to that, the Samara team of the year played in the First League and even won bronze medals there (2021). Samara football players repeated their bronze success in the Youth League: in their first season, the team led by Galina Komarova won the bronze of the youth championship, losing only to the capital's Dynamo and Lokomotiv.
It is curious that the next season turned out for Dynamo and Krylia in a similar way. But if the blue and white took the final 10th place in the championship, then the team from Samara became the worst at the end of the season: the wards of Alexander Nikulin won only one victory for the whole season and expectedly closed the Youth League standings (16th place). In many ways, such a deplorable result can be explained by the fact that most of the youth team that won the bronze medals in 2022 formed the backbone of the main team that began its performances in the Super League.
Already the next season, Krylia, headed by a young specialist Maria Cherepanova, who worked with the youth teams of the Samara Football Academy, showed a completely different result: the Samara youth team jumped from the bottom of the standings to its first half in 2024 – 7th place among the 20 participants of that championship. Obvious progress both in the game and as a result.
The beginning of the 2005 season is not easy for the team under the leadership of 30-year-old Cherepanovo – for three matches, the Volga women have scored only one point so far and lost two matches. Which, of course, can be explained by the level of opponents with whom they had to play: away with Spartak (0:5) and Lokomotiv (2:10), at home with Zenit (2:2). It is not surprising that the Samara club right now occupies one of the last places in the Youth League (9th out of 11), having already conceded 17 goals in three matches. Before Rostov, which is out of the competition by this indicator (31 goals in three matches), the Wings are still far away, but this looks like a rather weak consolation.
In the history of personal meetings, the clubs have played 7 matches among themselves – 6 meetings in the Youth League and one friendly game. Dynamo has a noticeable advantage here: 3 wins and 4 draws, the goal difference is 16-4. Of course, the meeting played on August 26, 2023 stands apart in the history of the confrontation between the two teams. Then the blue and white defeated the Samara team in Novogorsk with a score of 9:0, which made this victory historic – it still remains the largest in the history of the Dynamo youth team.
But the next match of Dynamo and Krylia Sovetov may be special for at least one football player – defender of the blue and white Anna Chudilina. An 18-year–old native of Samara is a pupil of Krylia, who managed to play as part of the Samara club in almost all tournaments:
– in 2021, she won the bronze medals of the First League
– in 2022 she became the bronze medalist of the Youth League
– in 2023, she made her debut in the Super League – she played 11 matches for the main team and scored 1 goal
– in 2024, she also played for both the main and youth teams of Krylia Sovetov
This winter Anna became a Dynamo Moscow player and has already played 3 matches for our youth team (all in the starting lineup and without substitutions). The Dynamo defender will hold the upcoming meeting in her hometown on the well-known field of the Metallurg stadium.
A new, already seventh, meeting of Dynamo and Krylia Sovetov in the framework of the Youth League will be served by the judging panel headed by Karina Afanasyeva from Kursk, who will be assisted by assistant judges Ekaterina Chernova (Ulyanovsk) and Elena Krasnikova (Ruzaevka).
Previously, Afanasyeva worked on Dynamo matches: in the Youth League – against Lokomotiv (2:1) and Rubin (1:0); in the Super League – against Zvezda-2005" (2:2), " Yenisei" (1:0), "Chertanovo" (3:2), Zenit (0:3), Krasnodar (2:0) and Yenisei (3:0).
The balance of Dynamo wins and losses under Afanasieva's refereeing: 8 matches – 6 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat, goal difference 14-8.
