Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Nobody could get near Idan Vered
Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Market31 Aug 2026
Dinamo Vologda sign Oleg Kozachenko for $95.0K
The paperwork is done: Oleg Kozachenko joins from Sibir in a deal worth $95.0K. Now comes the harder part.
The terraces31 Aug 2026
$95.0K for Oleg Kozachenko, and Dinamo Vologda supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Oleg Kozachenko from Sibir for $95.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.
Transfer targets31 Aug 2026
Dinamo Vologda rebuffed over Daniel Svintsov
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Rodina have kept their man, and Dinamo Vologda go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match29 Aug 2026
Dinamo Vologda come up short against Saturn
Saturn left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Match29 Aug 2026
Saturn end the Dinamo Vologda run at 5
Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 5 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.
The dugout31 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Zambek Nakaev
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Zambek Nakaev, and the manager let it.
The dugout31 Aug 2026
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Semyon Zabolotsky left the room before anybody could ask which.
Squad31 Aug 2026
Tempers go at Dinamo Vologda
Alexandr Kravchenko was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
In brief
- The dugout When it matters, Andrey Yakovlev plays
- The dugout Mikhail Petrolay asks for a word with the manager
- Squad Idan Vered remains an outsider
