Team status

The previous match, in which the blue and white team hosted the Master Saturn near Moscow at home, was the most important for our team in terms of the fight for medals, including the highest dignity. Considering this and the level of pressure that young Dynamo football players are experiencing now, they played this game as collected as possible and left no doubt that they would fight to the very end.

In general, Dynamo fans could only worry about the final success in the first half – Oleg Gusev's wards managed to open an account just before the break. Although there were enough opportunities to do this much earlier: Anastasia Kovaleva, who was the most active in the match with the Moscow Region team, and Ekaterina Sergeeva, who could have scored a goal at least twice, could have distinguished themselves.

Nevertheless, the Dynamo football players achieved the main thing – in the first added minute from the transferSvetlana Vinnikova was scored by the same active Kovaleva – 1:0!

Immediately after the break, the blue and white continued what they had started in the first half - they did not slow down in attack and did everything to strengthen the advantage in the score. And again Anastasia Kovaleva became the heroine of the episode, by the way, not without the participation of the same Vinnikova. The attacker gave the ball to the Belarusian, who in the fight against the defenders of the "Master Saturn" created a moment for herself to strike and sent the second ball into the gates of the Moscow region team - 2:0.

It happened in the 50th minute and, despite the fact that almost a whole half remained until the end of the game, few doubted that the Dynamo team would remain without three points that evening. Moreover, dynamovki had to close all questions with new goals: Sergeeva did not close into an empty net, Kovaleva hit the post after Irina Dricheva's perfect canopy, and at the end Master Saturn also remained in the minority due to the removal of defender Yana Ponomarenko for a "foul of the last hope" on Dricheva.

The end of the meeting was held at a calm pace, Oleg Gusev's team, although they controlled the ball most of the time, could not increase the score. However, it was no longer as important as the victory itself in a match in which points could not be lost.

— Thanks to the girls, they are great fellows! But there are always blots and there will be, we will sort them out and calmly prepare for Rubin. In every match of this season there was a single team – both in terms of emotions and dedication. There is a team outside the field, so many thanks to the team for that.

There simply won't be anyone in this league, so you have to tune in to every game. All the teams here are good, even with Rostov, which is now closing the standings, it just wasn't. This only makes it more interesting," Oleg Gusev, the head coach of the Dynamo youth football team, said after the match.

As always, Blue and white midfielder Anastasia Orlova was emotional after the game:

— I liked the game, the score on the scoreboard is 2:0 in our favor, how can this not please? Victory is always a smile, positive emotions, so we move on and smile. Any victory is pleasant, and such a well-deserved and hard-earned victory, like today, is doubly so.

Were there any thoughts of a rematch? Naturally, there were. We have not forgotten the first match in Yegoryevsk, where we suffered an insulting defeat. Of course, with this thought we went out, fought, fought, proved.

A calm, confident victory allowed Dynamo to maintain a 4-point gap from CSKA and get closer to Krasnodar, which now occupies the second line of the Youth League standings and remains the main pursuer of Lokomotiv.

The blue-and-white youth team will not fall below the fourth place, but I want, of course, more. There are two rounds ahead that will put everything in its place.

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

The opponent of the blue and white in the 21st round – the youth team of the ZHFC "Rubin" – appeared in Kazan in 2021 at the same time as the main women's team. The Kazan team finished its debut season in 2022 in 10th place among 13 participants. As it turned out, it was the worst performance of the youth team from Kazan, then it was only better.

In the 2023 season, the team led by Ilya Ulyanin, who has been leading the Rubin youth team since its inception, took 7th place out of 16 teams, and in 2024 – even 6 out of 20 possible!

And only this year the progress of the Kazan club will not be so noticeable. The fact is that even if Rubin wins the two remaining matches of the season, it will still not rise above 9th place, which it currently occupies. But it won't drop below the ninth line either, so by and large the season is already over for the Ulyanin team. In terms of the final location in the table, of course.

But in the match with Dynamo, the Cossacks have their own motivation. The fact is that they failed miserably in the first round game in Novogorsk – they lost 0:3, Varvara Demidova, Ekaterina Sergeeva and Maria Zernikova became the authors of the goals in the blue and white team.

And in general, the history of personal meetings is not at all in favor of Rubin: only one victory, which happened back in July 2024, and four defeats, all with a dry score, the goal difference of 2-9 is not in favor of the Kazan team.

Interestingly, there is a former dynamo in the Rubin team. Midfielder Ksenia Skotnikova played for Dynamo Moscow last season, having played 15 matches for the blue and white in the Youth League. Ksenia has 12 games on her account for the Kazan club this season.

The new official meeting within the framework of the Youth League will be served by the judging panel headed by Yulia Veselova from the Moscow region, who will be assisted by assistant judges Anastasia Tisova and Elizaveta Gorbunova (both from Moscow).

Previously, Veselova had already worked at Dynamo matches: in the Youth League – against Ryazan-VDV Housing and Communal Services (2:0), Ural (2:1), Krasnodar (0:0), Zvezda-2005" (1:0), " Spartacus" (1:3), CSKA (0:2) and Krylia Sovetov (2:2); in the Super League – against Zvezda-2005 (1:3) and Rubin (2:0).

The balance of Dynamo victories and defeats under Veselova's refereeing: 9 matches – 4 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, goal difference 11-11.
