Dynamo MoscowRussia3 : 1 RostovRussiaGroup C meeting in Moscow ended with the score 3:1 in favor of Dynamo. The winners scored Denis Makarov (44th minute), Vyacheslav Grulev (79) and Fedor Smolov (87). Guests in the 55th minute won back one ball through the efforts of Dmitry Poloz from the penalty spot for a foul on Komlichenko. Lyubimov appointed a penalty kick only after the intervention of the VAR system.
"I am not satisfied with today's result, but in general I am satisfied. Looked 18-19-year-old guys. It wasn't us who moved away from our game, but we were pushed away after we equalized the score. In the first half, two of the three substitutions were scheduled. We trained the way out of the defense, and then it was a matter of individual skill. After the match, I talked to the referee about the same thing: why do they continue not to put a penalty on Komlichenko? He replied that he did not see, but VAR figured it out. As for the Russian Cup format, I like it. In combat conditions, you can try to see guys who do not get practice in the championship. Collections? Smolov scored a goal, well done. I didn't follow collections. I would like to keep track of my own", said Karpin.
Dynamo scored seven points and climbed to the first line in the group standings. «Rostov» (6 points) — the third. Grozny Akhmat (6) and Orenburg (2) also play in the group. In the fifth round on November 9, Dynamo will meet Akhmat Grozny on the road, and Rostov will pay a visit to Orenburg on the same day.
