Saturday 15 April, VTB Arena, Moscow
Goals: Dynamo – Gladyshev (79), Fomin (86), Smolov (pen 90+5); Pari NN – Glushakov (pen 67)
Man of the Match: Daniil Fomin (Dynamo)
It’s well-known situation for Dynamo, when they need to save the match in the final minutes. Denis Glushakov gave the lead to Nizhny Novgorod just six minutes after entering the pitch, midfielder scored the penalty, the thing he did under Sergey Yuran last season in Khimki. Slavisa Jokanovic used the help from the bench, and Yaroslav Gladyshev caught the ball from Konstantin Tyukavin to beat Artur Nigmatullin.
Dynamo captain Daniil Fomin was unlucky with last penalties, so he used his long shot, and Nigmatullin could not deal with it, so hosts captured the lead with few minutes to play in second half. Dynamo threw away last hopes for guests, when Konstantin Tyukavin was tripped in the penalty area, and Fedor Smolov scored from the spot for win.
Dynamo move to fifth on 39 points, Pari NN still 13th with 19 points and six-game losing streak.
