The meeting of the 7th round of the Russian Premier League, held in Kaspiysk, ended with the victory of the hosts with a score of 1:0.
The starting lineup of the Muscovites almost completely repeated the one that came out from the first minutes of the match with Pari NN. The only change was the appearance of Anton Miranchuk instead of Dmitry Skopintsev, who played the entire cup match in Samara.
At the beginning of the match, the hosts had noticeably more possession of the ball, while the white-blues were getting used to the heavy grass. The first danger at Igor Leshchuk's goal arose after Valentin Paltsev joined the attack and headed a cross from the flank, shooting close to the post.
After the break for a watering hole, our team began to settle more and more often in the opponent's half of the field, and soon they succeeded in a quick attack, during which Bitello made a great pass to Ivan Sergeev, but Mutalip Alibekov took the ball off his foot.
In general, there was more fighting on the field than any constructive play, and Miranchuk was the first to receive a yellow card. At the end of the half, Daniil Fomin caught his chance, shooting with his cheek from 10 meters, but the ball’s path to the goal was blocked by Dzhemal Tabidze.
The second half began with a dangerous moment for the white-blues - Maksim Osipenko found himself in the opponent's penalty area and rolled the ball right to Sergeyev, whose shot from the goal line was reacted to by David Volk. The hosts responded 10 minutes later with Hazem Masturi going one-on-one with Leshchuk, and our goalkeeper emerged victorious from this duel!
The rest of the game was still a struggle, with a lot of clashes, whistles and long passes. And in the 74th minute, the Makhachkala team was able to take advantage of this: after a long throw-in, Nikita Glushkov passed the ball to Mohammad Hosseinnejad, and the Iranian chipped the ball over Leshchuk.
El-Mehdi Maouhoub immediately replaced Miranchuk, and Sergeyev could have equalized the score, shooting from the penalty line with a clear eye, but the ball went inches from the left post. In the remaining time, Dynamo tried to organize an onslaught, but the hosts confidently fought back and won.
In the next match, our team will host Spartak on Saturday, September 13. Buy tickets on our website.
