The White-Blues started the spring with three crushing victories, a combined score of 13-3! CSKA was the last to suffer – a 4-1 defeat at VEB Arena, marking only the White-Blues' second major victory in a fraternity derby in Russian history. Nicolas Marichal scored his first career brace, Bitello notched another goal and assist, and Ivan Sergeev scored his eighth goal of the season, moving up to 7th-8th place on the RPL's top scorers list.

"First of all, we haven't done anything yet to instill confidence. We're simply improving our standings in the league. It's clear these players deserve much more. I don't think we're in danger of becoming a star," Rolan Gusev assured at the press conference.

Seventeen-year-old Timofey Marinkin made his Premier League debut and was involved in the fourth goal. This week, the Lev Yashin Academy graduate signed a new contract with Dynamo until 2029.

Rostov's roster remained unchanged this winter. Only Ilya Vakhaniya's transfer to Krasnodar was announced, but the yellow-and-blue fullback will remain on the banks of the Don until the summer.

"That's our philosophy. When he arrived, he was unknown in the league. Now he's a very good player for our team and the Russian national team," noted Rostov head coach Jonathan Alba. "And his career needs to continue. It was the same with Glebov and Osipenko—they left as captains. Now another captain is leaving us. We'll be looking at the young players and searching for the 'new Vakhaniya' for the future."

In the first spring match, Vakhaniya was a key player. He wore the captain's armband for the first time, and received a straight red card late in the second half. Rostov ended up playing the rest of the match with nine men, which they lost 2-1. They then ended their Russian Cup run with a 2-0 home defeat to Dynamo Makhachkala, again playing with ten men for most of the first half.

Finally, in the 20th round, the home game against Baltika ended without any penalties, and Rostov secured its first point of the year thanks to Ronaldo's goal from a corner in second-half stoppage time. Earlier, the referee had disallowed Umar Sakho's goal for a controversial offside, and Alexei Mironov had missed a penalty – the match ended 1-1, putting Rostov just four points clear of the playoff zone.

Danil Glebov defended the colors of Rostov for six years and was its captain.

Andrey Lunev and defender of Rostov Danila Prokhin played for Zenit in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons.

Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov's first Russian club was Rostov, where he spent a season and a half.

The teams crossed paths 65 times: 28 wins for Dynamo, 16 for Rostov, and a draw was recorded in 21 more matches. The goal difference in favor of our team is 99:68. Who will score our hundredth goal in the confrontation?

His best scorers in the national championships are Alexander Kokorin (6 goals), Dmitry Poloz (6), Dmitry Kirichenko (4) and Alexander Maslov (4).

Yan Bobrovsky will officiate the match along with linesmen Rustam Mukhtarov and Stanislav Popkov. Pavel Kukuyan and Evgeny Kukulyak will be responsible for the video assistant referee (VAR) system.

This season, the 36-year-old referee from St. Petersburg officiated at Dynamo's matches against Baltika (1-1) and Akhmat (1-2).
