Dynamo played a draw with Rostov on the road

Both newcomers turned out to be in the starting lineup of the blue and whites: Juan Caceres took his place on the right flank of the defense, and Danil Glebov came out next to Luis Chavez in the center of the field, making his debut in the match against his former team. By the way, in the role of captain of Rostov, he was replaced by ex-Dynamo player Nikolai Komlichenko.

It was he who won the duel against Nicolas Marichal in the very first minute and shot from the penalty area well above the crossbar. A little later, Mohammad Mohebi emerged from behind the defenders and sent the ball near the post. Immediately Komlichenko fell out one-on-one with Andrei Lunev, sending the ball above him and the crossbar.

Finally, the starting onslaught of the hosts ended with a goal – Ivan Komarov received the ball in the center of the penalty area and shot right into the corner. It's good that after watching the video replay Kirill Levnikov canceled the goal because of Komlichenko's offside. Another problem was the injury of Konstantin Tyukavin after his with Maxim Osipenko – already in the 22nd minute he was replaced by El-Mehdi Maouhoub.

Five minutes later, Jorge Carrascal noticed the jerk of the Moroccan striker, who ran away to the gate of Rostov, but could not beat Rustam Yatimov. In addition, a moment later, the side referee fixed the offside. There was a moment for Carrascal himself after Glebov's pass, but Jorge failed to get into the goal from an acute angle.

Kirill Shchetinin did not use two chances at the opposite goal: first he shot near the bar from the penalty line, and a little later he could not realize a good cross from the left flank, sending the ball higher. At the very end of the half, Arthur threw Dmitry Skopintsev into a breakthrough, but Osipenko managed to obstruct his shot with his foot at the last moment.

After the break, the hosts continued to put pressure on Lunev's goal, and in one of the attacks Andrei not without difficulty coped with Ilya Vakhania's long-range strike. In the 55th minute, our goalkeeper needed help after Komlichenko flew into him at full speed - fortunately, Marcel Licka did not have to make a second forced substitution.

Five minutes later, Lunev selflessly threw himself at Mohebi's feet, preventing him from sending the ball into the goal and at the same time receiving a blow to the head. And again, after a small medical intervention, he was able to return to the game. Immediately, Marcel Licka made a triple substitution, releasing Daniil Fomin, Bitello and Yaroslav Gladyshev on the field.

There was more and more confusion in the game of both teams, and doctors appeared on the field time after time: Skopintsev and Ronaldo collided in the center of the field – our birthday boy was able to return to the game with a bandaged head, while the Rostov player needed a replacement.

In the 77th minute, Dynamo managed a smashing counterattack: Bitello brought Maouhoub one-on-one with Yatimov, the Rostov goalkeeper repelled a kick, after which Gladyshev rolled the ball to Fomin, and another today's birthday boy opened the score in the match!

However, after six minutes, the hosts recouped. Egor Golenkov, who came on as a substitute, hit the post, and Mohebi was the first on the rebound. Soon Osipenko ran into the attack and from the goalkeeper's line struck the crossbar. In the remaining time, both teams tried to snatch the victory, but the score remained tied.

Dynamo scored 36 points and occupy the fourth place in the standings. In the next match, the blue and whites will host Dynamo Makhachkala. Buy tickets to VTB Arena on our website.
