In a post-match assessment, Dinamo Moscow’s head coach Marcel Licka argued that his team deserved the full three points after a 2-0 victory over Akhmat Grozny in the Russian Premier League’s 20th round. He spoke through the outlet socialbites.ca, conveying a tempered but clear sense of relief about the result.
The coach described himself as a generally optimistic figure while acknowledging room for improvement in his side’s performance on the day. He noted that the opposition set a high tempo, executed smart pressing, and managed to breach Dinamo’s defense in the first half. Yet, his team regrouped, showed resilience, and converted two chances into goals to seal the win. Licka added that success in difficult fixtures often hinges on the ability to deliver results under pressure, even when the overall play isn’t flawless.
The match ended with Dinamo celebrating a clean sheet alongside goals from Luis Chavez and Konstantin Tyukavin, while Akhmat’s Evgeniy Kharin saw his afternoon cut short by a second yellow card just before halftime. The disciplined defense and timely finishing proved decisive as the home side maintained momentum in front of their supporters.
In the current league standings, Dinamo sits in third place with 38 points, as Zenit Saint Petersburg leads the table with 40 points, and Krasnodar trails closely in second with 39 points. The result keeps Dinamo firmly positioned among the top clubs, signaling continued ambition as the season progresses and the team aims to climb higher in the standings.
