Krasnodar head coach Murad Musaev addressed the key issues that plagued his team during the 29th round of the 2025/2026 Mir Russian Premier League season, where they suffered a 1-2 defeat against Moscow Dynamo.
Dynamo Moscow vs. Krasnodar: Final score 2-1 (first half 0-1). Goalscorers: Costa (32′), Tyukavin (48′), Sergeev (90+3′).
— The first half was very good for Krasnodar, but you conceded a goal at the start of the second half. How can you explain that moment?
— We made a mistake in the episode. We lost track of the player (Juan Caceres) who delivered the cross, and we also lost the battle in our own box.
— Speaking about the second half overall, what didn’t work?
— Actually, everything worked in terms of chances and pressure. Dynamo played to hold the score. We spent the entire half attacking, but we lost discipline at the end. Who can I blame? The players gave their all, and we’re playing without rotation. If we had scored our chances, the mood would have been different. But that’s football. It just wasn’t our day, — Musaev said on Match TV.
Currently, Krasnodar sits in second place in the Russian league standings with 63 points. They trail league leaders Zenit by two points (65). Dynamo are in eighth place with 42 points.
