The capital derby in the 10th round of the final stage of the Youth League ended with a confident victory for the current champions of the championship (0:2).

The women's youth team of Dynamo played their last match away against the Master-Saturn team.

Although our girls were doing well, problems in the final stage of the attack, as well as unforced errors in defense, led to the defeat of the blue and white. In that game, Nicole Greuli was injured and missed today's game. The starting lineup of Dinamo players for the match against CSKA received reinforcements from the main team in the form of Arina Taranchenko, Svetlana Eliseeva, Lamunat Mustafaeva and Daniella Petrova.

As for CSKA, they most likely dropped out of the championship race. Before meeting with Dynamo, the army players were in fourth place in the standings, 15 points behind first place. But they will definitely be able to compete for a place in the top three — only one point separated them from Zenit, which is in third place.

From the first minutes of the first half, the opponents took the initiative, our girls increasingly waited for a chance on the counterattack. However, it never came to really dangerous moments

At the 35th minute, after a long attack by the army women's players, Arina Taranchenko came to the fore. Twice in a row, CSKA could and should have scored. But our goalkeeper had completely different plans: twice, Taranchenko showed incredible reaction, repelling two shots almost point-blank and drawing applause from the stands. Before the break, we didn't see any more dangerous moments. In the first half, the Dynamo team had zero shots on target, while their opponents had five

Mikhail Kobyakov made adjustments to both his team's play and the lineup during the break. Valeria Azeeva came on to replace Anastasia Gnennaya.

An unpleasant situation occurred in the first minutes of the second half. CSKA forward Kristina Kutafina was injured. She had to leave the field in tears and on a stretcher. We sincerely wish Kristina good health and hope that everything will not be so serious.

The white-blues actively started the second half of the match, trying to take possession of both the ball and the initiative. In the 55th minute, our girls carried out a devastating attack. Kristina Yakovenko made a great run into the visitors' penalty area and crossed. The opponent's goalkeeper managed to react and block the ball, and Mustafayeva was slightly late for the rebound.

A moment later, things got heated at the Dynamo goal. First, Taranchenko came out too far from the goal, but the defense coped. And then, after a free kick, Arina failed to save the situation: she let the ball go straight into her own net. That's how CSKA took the lead in the 58th minute of the match.

The army footballers' penalty area brought them another success. After Pecherskaya's pass, Chizhevskaya was the first to the ball, who sent it into Taranchenko's net in one touch.

Immediately after the second missed goal, Varvara Demidova appeared on the field, replacing Skotnikova. The Dynamo players didn't stop playing, of course, it couldn't be called an assault, but attacks on CSKA's net followed. Unfortunately for us, we failed to score in this match, although we had opportunities.

The result was a home defeat to CSKA with a score of 0:2.
