Almaz — Dyn. Moscow: 4:1, MHL

Almaz defeated Dynamo Moscow 4:1 in the MHL on 23 September 2026, a result that kept the hosts at the top of the table and extended Dynamo's winless run to five games.

The visitors came into the match sitting ninth, having lost four of their five encounters. Almaz, meanwhile, had already established themselves as the league's leading side, though their form had been uneven.

By then, the prediction of a home victory at 42 per cent confidence proved correct. It isn't surprising when a team plays at home against opponents who cannot seem to string results together.

Almaz's recent record showed flashes of promise — a 6:1 victory over Red Machine and a 4:1 win against SKA-Academy — but also a heavy 2:4 defeat to Mikhailov Academy. Dynamo's struggles were more consistent, with losses to Lokomotiv and Red Army among their five outings.

The result leaves Almaz three points clear at the summit, while Dynamo remain rooted in the lower half with just one win from five matches. Both sides carry zero points in the current standings, a reminder that this is still early in the campaign.
