The organizer of the sixth round of the XXV tournament "Unquenchable stars" was Torpedo. It took place on June 24 at the Spartak Arena and was dedicated to the memory of the Honored Master of Sports Valentin Kozmich Ivanov.
Before the start of the competition, the participants observed a minute of silence in memory of the departed Torpedo players Nemesio Pozuelo and Vladimir Gulyamkhaydarov.
1) Dynamo – Lokomotiv – 0:0
2) Dynamo – Spartak – 0:1
3) Dynamo – CSKA – 0:0
4) Dynamo – RFU - 3:1 (Markin – 2, Gavrilin)
5) Dynamo – Torpedo – 2:0 (Novgorodov, Gavrilin)
1st match. Both teams attacked, but only Dynamo players created moments and half-moments. Once Stanislav Dubrovin hit the crossbar powerfully, but still the final whistle fixed a draw.
Viktor Losev: The defense played without mistakes, with a five-plus. The opponent was not allowed to create anything, so Tveryankin was out of work.
2nd match. Despite the defeat, they played better than Spartak. In the second half, the opponent was crushed, and there were opportunities to recoup. The missed ball grew out of a ridiculous mistake, literally out of nothing.
Alexey Kutsenko: Spartak players could not create anything, but we gave them this ball. And it's already very difficult to recoup, they've closed up like a snail in a shell, and you can't bite them.
3rd match. Only Dynamo attacked, the army defended themselves. And so the whole game, but the balls flew past the target. In such cases, it is customary to refer to bad luck.
Stanislav Dubrovin: I try to score, but the ball does not want to obey. And then my nose was smashed, I had to be replaced to stop the bleeding. Well, never mind, I'll be angrier. I'll do something in the next game.
4th match. Dynamo gave their best match. A strong RFU team with an impenetrable goalkeeper Oleg Denisov got into a hot hand. The trio Markin – Gavrilin– Dubrovin played with inspiration. They pretty much tore up the opponents' defense and scored three cool goals.
Rafail Isangulov: Finally, our forwards played to their strengths. But Tveryankin couldn't do anything, the ball plunged right into the nine with crazy speed. Well, how can you blame the goalkeeper?
The 5th match. Dynamo caught the courage and unleashed a series of attacks on Torpedo. Of the numerous moments, two were realized, and Dubrovin prepared both goals. First, he earned an undisputed penalty, and then laid out the ball on a platter with a blue and white border to Igor Gavrilin.
Vladimir Dolbonosov: Today the tournament has reached the equator. Dynamo has gained a foothold in the first place and is leading, I think, rightfully so. But the rivals do not give us a quiet life, they play against us in a sporty, evil and assertive way. It is always more difficult for a leader.
The Dynamo team consists of Andrey Tveryankin (goalkeeper), Andrey Novgorodov (captain), Stanislav Dubrovin, Mikhail Markin, Alexey Kozlov, Valery Likhobabenko, Vladimir Skokov, Alexey Kutsenko, Igor Gavrilin, Alexander Tochilin.
Substitute: Eric Yakhimovich.
