Dynamo Makhachkala triumphed over Krylya Sovetov in the 21st round of the Russian Premier League (RPL) with resounding 4-0 victory on March 15, 2025, at their home ground in Kaspiysk. The match showcased the skill and determination of the home team as they scored two goals per half and capitalized on the opponent's mistakes.
Krylya Sovetov's head coach Igor Osinkin expressed disappointment over his team's performance. "У нас не получилось соответствовать тому уровню градуса борьбы, который был с первых минут..." (We couldn’t match the level of play from the start), Osinkin noted after the match. He hinted at several errors made by his squad, which he planned to address, particularly concerning the team's structure during the game.
The match, which took place on March 15, 2025, saw Dynamo's Gamid Agalarov netting two goals, alongside efforts from Mokhamed Azzi and Shamil Gadzhiyev, sealing their victory. Agalarov's performance included both finishing and creating chances, establishing him as the standout player of the match.
A pivotal moment occurred when Krylya Sovetov defender Ilya Gaponov received a red card early in the second half for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. The decision, made by referee Artem Chistyakov, left the guests with just ten players on the pitch and hindered any hopes of staging a comeback.
Looking at the event from Dynamo's perspective, their head coach, Hasambi Bidzhiev, commended his team's execution of the game plan. "Я думаю, что результат по игре, у нас получилось многое из того, что мы задумали..." (I think the result reflects the game, we achieved much of what we had planned), Bidzhiev remarked post-match. This victory was particularly significant, marking Dynamo's first win since early November 2024 and helping the team rise to tenth place overall with 21 points.
Krylya Sovetov's disappointing result leaves them steeped at 12th place with 19 points, having lost three out of their last four matches. The changing tide of their season has raised concerns among fans and management alike about the sustainability of their current strategy. Osinkin now faces the task of instilling confidence and discipline within his players as they prepare for their next match against Lokomotiv Moscow on March 28, 2025.
Following the match, Osinkin suggested there were multiple areas for improvement. He also mentioned, "Удаление? На повторах вам лучше видно..." (The red card? You see it well on the replays...) indicating he would review the play closer to assess its impact on his team's performance.
The road to stability proves challenging for Krylya, who now needs to refocus and rebound quickly. Their upcoming match against Lokomotiv is seen as pivotal; failing to secure points might deepen their struggles as the league continues.
Dynamo, meanwhile, will travel to face CSKA Moscow on March 29, 2025. Both teams will hope to leverage this match day as they continue to push for improvement and climb the league standings.
This match not only highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of both teams but also set the tone for their trajectories going forward as the season progresses. The RPL continues to ooze drama, and this encounter was no exception, underscoring the importance of being prepared physically and mentally for every match. Fans are already anticipating the next round of fixtures with excitement, hoping for thrilling displays of football.
