Rostov
Dinamo Moskva
Dinamo Moskva secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Rostov in a chaotic encounter that saw both teams reduced to ten men before halftime. The match turned decisively in the 17th minute when Rostov's Viktor Melekhin received a straight red card for professional handball, forcing an early tactical reshuffle. Dinamo capitalized on their numerical advantage through K. Tyukavin's strike on the stroke of halftime, but their task became more difficult when Rubens was sent off for a second yellow card just before the break. The second half saw both teams manage their depleted squads carefully, with Dinamo successfully protecting their slender lead despite late pressure. This victory provides crucial points for Dinamo's campaign while Rostov will rue the early dismissal that ultimately cost them the match.
