No goals from Dynamo and Krasnodar at VTB Arena

RPL Matchday 5
Dynamo Moscow 0-0 FC Krasnodar
Saturday 13 August, VTB Arena, Moscow

Man of the Match: Christian Ramirez (Krasnodar)

After goalless draw from Fakel and Ural the second zeros of Matchday 5 were made at VTB Arena. Dynamo and Krasnodar produced both seven shots on target, while six of them came from the hosts. Fedor Smolov was on the radar making two of three attempts in the opening 15 minutes but first went near the post and the second was caught by Matvey Safonov, RPL leader on saves.

The only shot on target from the visitors came in the first half by Nikita Krivtsov. He was close to score in the second half after getting the pass from Jhon Cordoba, and the ball went little wide the net. Another good chance against Krasnodar was missed by Dmitry Skopintsev, the former Black-Green Bull, as he ran into the box on the dribble but Safonov saved his shot from the corner.

Dynamo still go without losses getting ninth point, while Krasnodar are behind having one point less.

Next RPL fixtures: Saturday 20 August – Dynamo vs Spartak; Sunday 21 August – Krasnodar vs Orenburg
