Dynamo St Petersburg hosted Loko in a club friendly match on Friday, 8 August 2026, and came out on the short end of a 2:3 scoreline. The visitors took all three points and completed a double over their opponents within twenty-four hours. Yesterday they had won 3:1 in the reverse fixture, and on this occasion they held firm to secure a second victory.
The result means Loko went through the weekend unbeaten in two matches against the same side. Dynamo St Petersburg suffered back-to-back defeats to the same opponent, having previously lost 3:1 the day before. The hosts have now lost three of their last five fixtures across all competitions.
Loko's recent form looks steadier. They beat Dynamo Moscow 4:3 last Thursday and had a run of three straight wins over Spartak in May, scoring five, three and three goals respectively. Their only blemish in that stretch was a defeat to Spartak, which they have since reversed.
Dynamo St Petersburg have been more inconsistent. They put six past Amurskie Tigry on 2 August before losing 3:2 the following day. Against Loko in April they lost both meetings, 3:4 and 1:4, so this friendly added to a difficult period against the visitors.
The scoreline tells you Loko were the sharper side. They took their chances and Dynamo St Petersburg found no answer when it mattered. The visitors ran out of legs in the closing stages but kept their heads to hold on for the win.
