Dynamo Moscow edge past Krasnoyarsk in friendly
Dynamo Moscow played Krasnoyarsk in a club friendly on 22 September 2026, and went through 3-1. And here's the thing — there were no goalscorers listed and no minutes recorded for the match. You get the score and nothing else, which is fair enough for a friendly.
By then, Dynamo had built up a bit of momentum. They beat Zenit St Petersburg 3-2 on 17 May, followed that with a 3-2 win over Novosibirsk the day before, and before that two clean sheets — 3-0 against Zenit Kazan on 27 April and 3-0 against Belgorod on 12 May. To be fair, they had been scoring consistently.
Krasnoyarsk's recent run looked different. They lost 1-3 and 0-3 to Dynamo-Lo in late April, then bounced back with two wins against Novokuybysevsk — 3-1 and 3-0. The 15-12 result against Surgutsky District on 12 April was an outlier, but it showed they could score. By then they'd come into this match with mixed form.
The 3-1 result fit what you'd expect from Dynamo at home in a friendly. They kept their heads and didn't need to chase the game. And here's the thing — these matches aren't about testing tactics or finding solutions. They're about keeping rhythm, and Dynamo had that.
There were no statistics provided — no possession, no shots, no expected goals. You can't say anything about dominance when you don't have the numbers. The scoreline tells the story, and the story is straightforward.
For Krasnoyarsk, the result doesn't change anything in terms of standings. This was a friendly, and the table doesn't move for friendlies. What it might do is give them a sense of where they stand against a side that's been running well.
