The friendly game that was held at VTB Novogorsk-Dynamo training ground ended in a 2:0 win for the White-Blues.
Slaviša Jokanović made three changes into the starting eleven in comparison with the previous friendly: Igor Leshchuk, Aleksandr Kutitsky and Luka Gagnidze replaced Anton Shunin, Saba Sazonov and Georgy Sulakvelidze respectively.
Dynamo started well and could score an early goal. Gagnidze tested Dyupin from inside the penalty box, but the goalkeeper made a nice save. The Muscovites continued to control the game. Vyacheslav Grulev jumped high and hit the target with his header after Daniil Fomin's cross. However, Dyupin played solid again.
The best chance to open the score came to Fabián Balbuena. The Paraguayan international won the position and struck into the post. In the next attack the hero of the first half Dyupin denied Fomin's effort who was assisted by Smolov. The Kazan side found the key to Dynamo defense by the end of the half but the visitors couldn't break the deadlock.
After the interval Makarov set an incredible trajectory curling the ball into the far top corner – 1:0.
In the 60th minute Jokanović diversified the play of Dynamo fielding Konstantin Tyukavin instead of Moro. However, the formation with two centre-forwards didn't exist for a long time because Sazonov substituted Smolov soon.
One of the most memorable episodes happened outside the football pitch. Ciupercă tackled Makarov dangerously. Dynamo winger expressed his anger regarding this rash action and the scuffle began. Following this heart-to-heart talk the referee showed two red cards sending both players off.
Young footballers of Dynamo who played against the second team of the White-Blues in the morning (6:1 including Tyukavin and Gladyshev's braces as well as Osokin and Zazvonkin's accurate strikes) appeared on the pitch and made their contribution into the final result. Tyukavin earned a penalty and converted it confidently.
In the last friendly before the start of the Premier League our team will face Lokomotiv at RZD Arena on July 10.
