Marked for German Kudryavtsev

Match

Cup progress for Krasnodar

A 2‑1 win over Lokomotiv Moscow, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Eduard Spertsyan

17 goals and a season average of 7.92 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Stanislav Agkatsev

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Diego Costa in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Krasnodar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Diego Costa

Marked 9.24 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Batxi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Eduard Spertsyan in the eights

A performance of 8.58 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Loan watch

German Kudryavtsev has seen enough of Dinamo Moscow

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Krasnodar, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

No hiding place for Gustavo Santos

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gustavo Santos, and the manager let it.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Dinamo Moscow turn down Minsk for Maxim Osipenko

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Moscow

Luis Chávez 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.

Loan watch

Roman Bosov has seen enough of SKA Khabarovsk

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Dinamo Moscow, and 3 appearances in 30 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Yaroslav Gladyshev gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Luis Chávez asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Bitello story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Bitello signs something — a contract at Dinamo Moscow or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Loan watch

6 goals on loan for David Ricardo

28 appearances at Spartak Kostroma and the goals keep coming. Dinamo Moscow are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

A wage question at Dinamo Moscow

Luis Chávez has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Loan watch

5 goals on loan for Ulvi Babaev

31 appearances at Neftekhimik and the goals keep coming. Dinamo Moscow are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.
