Renowned Russian commentator Denis Kazansky has shared his thoughts on the 29th round match of the Russian Premier League between Dynamo Moscow and Krasnodar, which ended in a 2-1 victory for the hosts.
The game at the Dynamo Stadium was filled with chaotic movements—like a remake of yesterday’s championship match in London, where quality was absent, and only raw nerves remained. The outcome felt almost cosmic in its fate. It seemed as if just when Dynamo were within touching distance of the title, and Krasnodar were fighting with all their might, retribution arrived in various forms: in Krivtsov’s offside, in the scramble of Dynamo defenders inside their own box, and most importantly, in Lunev’s foot. How calmly he tracked Boselli with his eyes. How long and arrogantly he kept his hands down: “Come on, shoot…”
Krasnodar are to blame themselves. Everything was in their hands—and their heads. You could see they believed in the inspiration that had been with them this spring. And they got the moment of the year with that hockey-like breakaway—as a reward for their faith in their squad, in its quality rather than quantity. But… Lunev and Sergeev have likely not forgotten their addresses in St. Petersburg yet. And with their old, happy “registration,” they gifted Dynamo a championship present,” Kazansky wrote on his Telegram channel.
