Andrey Lunev, goalkeeper for Dynamo Moscow, said it was a matter of principle for his team to overcome Krasnodar in the 29th round of the MIR RPL. The match in Moscow ended with a determined 2-1 comeback win for Dynamo, just days after they lost to the same opponent in the Russian Cup on penalties. “It was really important for us to beat them. Krasnodar took away our dream. Before this, they kept us from winning the league. For us, it was about honor and principle. I would swap this result for the Cup victory, but this win didn’t help us in the standings,” Lunev said. “As for my saves? In the first one, they shot at me from close range — I had nowhere to go. On the second, I anticipated that (Juan Boselli) would try exactly that,” Lunev told Match TV. Dynamo currently sit eighth in the Russian Premier League table with 42 points. Their next match is away against Baltika on May 17.
