For the army team, the Fraternal Derby has not been the best in recent years: only two wins in 12 matches with five defeats. Things were especially unfortunate in meetings at the VTB Arena, where CSKA managed to catch only one draw in four games. In general, the army team has not defeated fellow countrymen away since 2015. The memories of the recent friendly matches, which ended with a total score of 11:3 in favor of Dynamo, did not add positive to the fans of the Red-Blues.

The news about the imminent transfer of Jorge Carrascal gave piquancy to the next round of confrontation between the Moscow clubs. The Colombian, who has never been included in CSKA’s squad this season, should join Dynamo next week.

Before the game, both clubs were united by parting with key players: almost ex-Dynamo Arsen Zakharyan is already preparing to sign a contract with the Spanish Real Sociedad, and the army wagon Baktier Zainutdinov is settling the last formalities before moving to Besiktas.

Zabolotny has already fulfilled last year’s goal goal limit

Both coaches did not change the starting lineups that came out in the previous round. Vladimir Fedotov would be happy to make changes to the positions of the first number, but Igor Akinfeev did not have time to recover from the injury.

The place at the gate again had to be taken by 19-year-old Vladislav Torop, for whom this was only the fourth match in his career in the RPL. Also, from the first minutes, 17-year-old winger Kirill Glebov entered the field, for whom the previous game with Sochi ended with a visit to the hospital. The young player managed to avoid a serious injury and reappeared on the right flank.

It was Glebov who became one of the main designers of the goal attack in the debut of the game. The teams generally started the match very cheerfully, despite the Moscow heat. “Dynamo” was marked by two sharp sorties, but CSKA scored first. Zdelar found Glebov in someone else’s penalty area with a penetrating pass;

For the army striker, this goal was already the third in five rounds. The same amount on his account was for the entire previous championship.

Zdelar almost buried Shunin’s career

CSKA in the first half looked much more preferable than Dynamo. The game without the center of the field was clearly in the hands of Fedotov’s team, which created chances with a frightening frequency for the hosts. This time Lichka’s idea of ​​reformatting Laskalt into a defensive midfielder obviously didn’t work: the Uruguayan couldn’t slow down other people’s attacks.

Opportunities to increase the advantage of CSKA was enough. Zdelar almost distinguished himself in the most non-standard way, which could have buried Shunin’s career. A midfielder’s shot from midfield took the 36-year-old goalkeeper by surprise, but he still managed to get the ball out from under the crossbar.

Sharpness for the Dynamo gate came from almost every CSKA player. The defenders in this sense did not differ from the attackers: after a corner, Rosha missed from a lethal position, followed by Nababkin with an elegant heel pass to Chalov. Dynamo players tried to respond with counterattacks, but in the final stage the players made the wrong decisions every time.

Coup from Dynamo

The hosts left the locker room with a completely different attitude. The second half began with a gross mistake by Nababkin, who did not understand a simple situation. An experienced defender allowed himself to get ahead of Tyukavin, who rolled the ball under the blow of Ngamale.

On this, CSKA’s troubles could continue: Rosha, who had a yellow card, miraculously escaped removal. The Brazilian elbowed Tukavin in the face, but this episode was left without a proper assessment by the judge Pavel Kukuyan.

The scored goal only irritated the Dynamo team, who continued to create chances at the gates of Torop. Tukavin and Makarov had chances to excel, but their shots lacked accuracy. In such a situation, CSKA had to switch to the game with the second number. True, Chalov did not find proper support from his tired partners, and he could not cope with the opponent’s defense alone.

Toward the end, the pace of the game dropped noticeably, which was easily explained by weather conditions. Maintaining high speeds in such heat was unrealistic. Usually in such a situation, one mistake decides the fate of the match. Fatal for CSKA was the arrival of Zabolotny in his penalty area, recklessly spreading his arms when Skopintsev hit. Kukuyan pointed to the point without a doubt, and Fedor Smolov just as confidently converted a penalty.

The 33-year-old striker confirmed the reputation of one of the main specialists in goals against CSKA. There are already 10 of them on Smolov’s account.

In the remaining time, the army team tried to save the game, but even taking into account the substitutions, they did not have enough strength for this. Dynamo, after an unsuccessful start to the season, gave an excellent stretch, scoring three victories in a row. CSKA is insulting defeat should force to intensify work in the transfer market.
