The meeting of the 3rd round of the World of the Russian Premier League, held in Krasnodar, ended with the victory of the hosts with a score of 1:0.
In the 87th minute, John Cordoba scored the only goal.
In the next match Dynamo will play away from Sochi on Sunday, August 10.
At the end of half an hour, the second head coach also received a warning – Valery Karpin was punished for trying to draw the attention of the referees to a missed foul on Nicolas Ngamaleu. The next violation on the Cameroonian was noticed, and Sergey Petrov received a well-deserved yellow card. The end of the half took place under the pressure of Krasnodar, but they did not take out any special dividends from it.
After the break, Cordoba twice found himself in the center of attention: first, he gave his heel to the oncoming Eduard Spertsyan, who was momentarily ahead of Lunev, and a little later he himself punched his head in the fight with Marichal next to the barbell. The Colombian had an even more dangerous moment in the 70th minute, when he closed the overhang with his head from the standard, and Lunev played great on the line.
Dynamo tried to counterattack, but there were not enough precise actions in the other half of the field. Yaroslav Gladyshev cut out a good transfer to Ivan Sergeev, who was outpaced at the last moment by Stanislav Agkatsev. A minute later Yaroslav gave way on the field to Denis Makarov.
Bakhtiyor Zainutdinov, Leon Zaydenzal and Yegor Smelov also came out for the last 15 minutes. The hosts continued to press and set dangerous standards – Vitor Tormen beat his head into the left corner of Lunev's goal, and again our goalkeeper was on top. And yet he was not destined to play at zero: in the 87th minute, Cordoba received the ball on the left flank, shifted to the center and from the penalty line struck exactly under the crossbar.
As a result, we suffer the first defeat of the season. In the next match, Dynamo will play away from Sochi on Sunday, August 10.
