Metallurg Cherepovets defeated Dynamo 576 4-1 in a club friendly match on September 26, 2026. The visitors took control of the contest and did not look back, despite the hosts' efforts to stay competitive. By then, the gap in results had become clear.
Dynamo 576 had been on a difficult run, losing their previous two matches 3-7 and 3-5 against Arktika. They also failed to turn things around in their earlier meetings with Metallurg, losing 2-6, 0-1 and 2-6 across three fixtures in March and April. To be fair, the home side showed some spirit but could not find the consistency they needed.
Metallurg Cherepovets arrived with mixed recent form. They had suffered heavy defeats 1-4, 1-4 and 1-6 earlier in the season, but their last two outings against Granit brought victories 5-1 and 4-3. The result on Saturday extended their advantage over Dynamo, who had not managed to break their losing streak against the visitors.
The scoreline reflected a match where Metallurg took their chances and Dynamo struggled to create clear opportunities. The hosts' defensive frailties, already visible in their recent results, were once again exposed. And here's the thing — the away side did not need to push hard to secure the three points.
The win moved Metallurg Cherepovets further away from their earlier struggles, while Dynamo 576's run of poor results continued. The goal difference of three goals told the story of a match where one side controlled the tempo and the other could only react.
