SKA-1946 beat Dynamo St. Petersburg 5:2 in a club friendly on Friday, reversing their result from just over a week ago. The two sides met on 29 August when Dynamo came out on top 2:1, so this time the visitors ran the show. By then the match had settled into something altogether different.
There were no minute-by-minute events supplied for this fixture, so the exact flow of play remains unclear. What stands out is the scoreline itself — a comfortable margin for SKA-1946 after their narrower win earlier in September. To be fair, friendlies rarely demand the same scrutiny as competitive fixtures.
Dynamo's recent run reads as mixed results: three wins and two losses across five games before this afternoon's match. They had beaten SKA-1946, Academy Mikhaylova U20, and Almaaz in that sequence, but also fell to Dynamo-Shinnik and AKM-Junior. The defeat here adds to that pattern of inconsistency.
SKA-1946's form has been less predictable. Their last five included a win against Dynamo, a 2:0 victory over Avto, and losses to Irbis and Chaika, alongside wins against Reaktor and Dynamo. The five-goal haul suggests they found their rhythm on this occasion.
The result sits in the context of a friendly, so table implications are minimal. Still, the reversal of fortunes between these two sides over ten days is worth noting. Dynamo may look to build on their earlier win, while SKA-1946 will take confidence from this performance.
