The match of the 13th round of the Russian Premier League with Akhmat, held at VTB Arena, ended with the victory of our team with a score of 2:0.
Kurban Rasulov took the Dynamo goal for the second time in a week, and in the center of defense Sandro Schwartz opted for Roberto Fernandez, leaving Maxim Osipenko on the bench.
The Paraguayan defender famously threw the ball into the penalty area in the very first minute, where Bitello tried to outwit Vadim Ulyanov with a nod of his head, but the Grozny goalkeeper coped. However, a minute later he did not play the best way, trying to repel a long-range shot by Daniil Fomin, who was waiting for a rebound at the entrance to the penalty area, and the ball from his gloves flew into the net – 1:0!
After that, Konstantin Tyukavin played a short game with Gladyshev, Yaroslav swung the defender and powerfully shot down the center from the right – this time Ulyanov deflected the blow with one hand. In another episode, Gladyshev made a good shot into the far corner, the goalkeeper of the guests beat off in front of him, and Tyukavin had to finish off above the gate.
Dynamo played with a big advantage, but the ball still did not go into the goal. Arthur stormed into the penalty area, put the ball under the right and shot over the far nine. "Akhmat" never hit the target during the entire first half and only once created a semblance of sharpness at Rasulov's goal when Mohamed Konate almost closed the far post after drawing the standard.
The break did not make any big changes to the nature of the match – Muscovites were still besieging the opponent's penalty area in search of a second goal. Tyukavin in one of the first attacks hit his head under the crossbar after Rubens' cross, forcing Ulyanov to immediately get involved in the work. A little later, he also crossed Juan Caceres' shot with his heel – the goalkeeper again prevented a beautiful goal from happening. Gladyshev could have been marked on the scoreboard when the ball, after his strike and ricochet, almost darted into the near corner.
For the last half hour, Josue Casimir and Maximiliano Gutierrez entered the field. Soon the Chilean from the flank shifted slightly to the center, hit the bottom corner tightly, but missed the target a little. In the 72nd minute, Rasulov truly saved the team for the first time, repelling Georgy Melkadze's blow from a killing position.
This moment cheered up the blue and white, and they finally scored the much-needed second goal. In a leisurely positional attack, Fomin beat Kazimir and gave a great pass to the penalty area to Tyukavin, who hit the near nine!
In the remaining time, Dynamo could bring the matter to a rout due to the actions of fresh players. First, Gutierrez entered the operational space and struck from behind the penalty area next to the bar, and closer to the final whistle, he threw the ball past the defender and went one-on-one with Ulyanov, who won his duel. Kazimir did not properly adjust to the rebound and did not hit the empty gate.
As a result, Dynamo beat Akhmat for the third time in the season, scored 28 points and reached the intermediate first place in the standings. In the next round they will play away from Voronezh "Torch" on November 7.
