Dinamo-Baltika game: five players performed poorly

The previous season's championship started with a match between the teams "Dinamo" and "Krasnodar". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In this game, "Krasnodar" won, and both teams fought for the championship until the next matches. The opening game of the current season took place in the RPL between the teams "Dinamo" and "Baltika".

In this game, the "Dinamo" team recorded a draw, and the team under Karpin's leadership appeared somewhat sluggish and weak. According to subjective assessments by the network publication "Evro-Futbol.Ru", five players from the "Dinamo" team played below their potential and expected level.

According to the match protocol, "Dinamo Moscow" and "Baltika" played to a 1:1 draw. The goals were scored by Xil Bryan (Baltika) in the 12th minute and Kaseres Juan (Dinamo) in the 48th minute.

Among the players who played in the starting lineup were Andrej Lunyov, Kaseres Juan, Maksim Osipenko, Roberto Fernandez, Dmitriy Skopintsev, Danil Glebov, Mumi Ngamalyo, Daniil Fomin, Yaroslav Gladyshev, and Ivan Sergeyev. The substitute players also had the opportunity to enter the field during the game.

Goalkeeper Andrej Lunyov was rated 4.0. He made one mistake in the game, allowing the opposing team to score a goal.

Lunyov did not put in enough effort against the opponent's central striker in the first half. Roberto Fernandez was rated 3.5, as he made mistakes in the game and could not stop the opponent's attack.

Karpin substituted him at halftime, and after the new player Marichal entered the field, he helped strengthen the team's defense. Maksim Osipenko was rated 4.5.

He was not effective enough in defense, especially as he allowed the opponent's goal. He also made two key passes in attack, but his two shots did not hit the target.

Nikoly Ngamaly was rated 3.0; he attempted to dribble three times on the left flank but was unsuccessful. He lost the ball frequently during the game and had few accurate passes.

Ivan Sergeyev was also rated 3.0. He could not win any one-on-one battles and participated little in the game.

Both players were substituted after an hour of play. Overall, it seemed that the "Dinamo" team had not prepared well enough for the opening game.

There was a lack of balance between the team's defense and attack, and points were lost due to individual mistakes by some players. In the future, head coach Karpin will have to work extra to improve the team.
