"Dinamo was defeated by Krasnodar in the third round of the Russian League"
In the third round of the Russian Premier League, Krasnodar managed to secure a hard-fought victory against Dynamo Moscow at their home stadium. The game remained a draw until the final minutes, with John Cordoba scoring the only goal of the match at the 87th minute.
The goal came after a series of setbacks and bad luck for Krasnodar in the early rounds. Cordoba's strike in the penalty area went under the crossbar, giving the southerners the advantage they needed to claim the three points.
Despite Krasnodar's advantage in shots and possession, the teams did not score any goals in the first half. The second half saw the southerners predominantly staying near the opponent's goal, while Dynamo started aggressively, attacking Krasnodar's goal within the first five minutes. However, the Krasnodar defence held firm, and the teams shared possession almost equally, with Krasnodar having 51% and Dynamo having 49%.
This marks a solid southern tradition for Dynamo, being unable to beat Krasnodar and win in the championship. The first part of this tradition has been achieved in the third round, as Krasnodar defeated Dynamo Moscow 1:0.
In the 30th round, held at Krasnodar's stadium, Krasnodar won convincingly with a score of 3:0 against Dynamo Moscow. These results indicate Krasnodar's strong home performance against Dynamo Moscow in both these rounds of the league. The close 1:0 result in the third round contrasts with the more dominant 3:0 victory in the 30th round, showing improved margin for Krasnodar later in the season.
The match between Krasnodar and Dynamo took place in the "bulls'" home stadium, marking the first encounter between the two teams in the new season. Dynamo left Krasnodar empty-handed for the second time in the season, as they failed to score a single goal against the southerners.

Despite Krasnodar's dominant performance against Dynamo in the 30th round, where they won 3:0, the 1:0 victory in the third round was a hard-fought and close contest, indicating a challenging matchup between the two teams in football.
