From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Dinamo Moscow are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 39 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market

Only the photograph left for Yegor Nazarenko

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Yegor Nazarenko will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Dinamo Moscow the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Dinamo Moscow — 7.87

1 for Jamalutdin Abdulkadyrov, marked 7.87, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

The dugout

Ivan Grigoryev says Dinamo Moscow went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Moscow

Jamalutdin Abdulkadyrov 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.

Match

Dinamo Moscow get the job done against Sochi

A 3‑1 win over Sochi, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

One of those days for Sergey Pinyaev

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.38, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

One of those days for Arsen Zakharyan

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Rubens

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

In brief
