In the 8th round of the WORLD RPL, Dynamo hosted Ural, and this match before the start seemed nothing more than a passing meeting of a clear favorite with a hopeless outsider. However, the Blue-and-Whites have already shown this season that they give chances to any opponent and sometimes miss even the surest victories. As a result, even the dead Ural brought Muscovites a lot of problems.

At some point, it seemed that this time Dynamo would lose points, but one of the players took matters into his own hands. Denis Makarov scored the first goal of the season – and it turned out to be a real masterpiece.

The Arjen Robben case lives on!

Jokanovic is furious

The first half turned out to be ambiguous for Dynamo. On the one hand, the White-and-Blues were much better than their opponents and scored a beautiful goal (Konstantin Tyukavin skillfully completed a wide multi-move). On the other hand, they allowed the opponent to excel, and from the standard. Eric Bikfalvi’s head kick followed a very peculiar trajectory, so there are minimal claims against Anton Shunin. But the defense once again raises questions. However, Slavish Jokanovic released a completely new combination of Sazonov-Marichal at Ural, so the confusion is understandable.

The teams went to the break with a score of 1:1, and this, of course, did not please Jokanovic. Even more he did not like the way the second half began. “Dynamo” could not establish ball control in any way, and the guys of Viktor Gancharenko began to feel more and more at ease in Petrovsky Park. “White-blue” urgently needed some kind of impetus, otherwise the story with “PARI NN” would have been repeated. Given the state in which the Yekaterinburgers are, losing points in a match with them would be a shame for a club that claims to be in a high position in the league.

Triumph Makarov

That momentum eventually came from the right flank. Or rather, from the zone of the right insider, where Denis Makarov usually acted. One of the main dribblers of the Premier League this season has not yet scored, but this time he said his weighty word. Yes, he said so that the stands literally burst into an enthusiastic cry!

Makarov picked up the ball, worked under the left and spun it into the very “nine” from outside the penalty area. Ilya Pomazun did not really see the moment of impact, but in any case it would be wrong to blame the Ural goalkeeper. Such chic strikes are designed to become goals. Arjen Robben once scored in a similar style. The Dutchman did the same thing year after year – moved from the right flank to the center and twisted from the left into the far corner – but no one could do anything with him. Makarov is still far from the great winger of Bayern and Real Madrid, but by the standards of the RPL, he created a miracle.

Surely Denis adds positive emotions and the fact that his great goal eventually became decisive. It cannot be said that Dynamo very confidently brought the meeting to victory, but such a shot could not help but give the players courage – at least in order to prevent the opponent from hosting their gates. “Ural” tried to attack, but the “white-blue” survived and have already climbed to third place in the standings. And in the “defeats” column, the Jokanovic team still has zero.
