Regulations: six teams play each with each in one round. Duration of matches: two halves of six minutes each. Scoring: win – 3, draw – 2, defeat – 1.

1) Dynamo – Spartak – 0:0

2) Dynamo – RFU – 0:0

3) Dynamo – CSKA – 1:0 (Smirnov)

4) Dynamo – Torpedo – 0:0

5) Dynamo – Lokomotiv – 0:0

1st match. Both teams attacked desperately, trying to score, but really could have done it once. Once, after a ricochet, the ball stroked the crossbar of Andrei Tveryankin's goal, and then Alexei Kutsenko did not use a clean exit to the goal and shot straight into the goalkeeper.

Alexey Kutsenko: I didn't score because I was picking up my foot: while I was deciding which one to hit, the goalkeeper blocked the gate, got close to me, and the moment for the shot was missed.

2nd match. The game showed the equality of forces. Mikhail Markin stood out against the general background, managing to move around the entire site. Once he successfully caught the moment when he got the ball, but unfortunately he didn't get a shot.

Victor Riveiro: We are playing correctly: we keep the gate locked, we are counting on individual actions ahead, we are gaining points.

3rd match. It was felt that Dynamo was set to win. Nikolai Smirnov knows how to take the game on himself, and this time he completed his raid with a cascade of feints with a sharp, precise blow! The initiative passed to Dynamo for good, but it didn't come to the second goal.

Alexey Mironov: I could have scored the second goal, but I delayed the shot. It's always a shame for your mistake in a simple situation.

4th match. Both teams played cautiously: Dynamo was satisfied with a draw, Torpedo players, apparently, were not confident in their abilities. Goalkeepers had almost no work.

Andrey Tveryankin: Somehow I was not bothered by Torpedo. Usually they are gambling in attack, they like to hit so that the goalkeeper does not get bored. And today I was hardly disturbed.

The 5th match. The railwaymen looked solid, but they could not crack the defense of the Yakhimovich-Novgorodov pair. Dynamo tried to hit the goal more often, because of this they collected a bouquet of corners. The game was spectacular, but the score remained 0-0.

Vladimir Dolbonosov: We spent today's tour in a weakened line-up, for good reasons four could not come. This affected the decrease in the attacking potential of the team. Therefore, the load on the defenders has increased, which they coped with perfectly.

The Dynamo team consists of Andrey Tveryankin (goalkeeper), Eric Yakhimovich (captain), Andrey Novgorodov, Alexey Mironov, Nikolai Smirnov, Alexey Kutsenko, Mikhail Markin, Mikhail Maryushkin.
