Dynamo Moscow goalkeeper Andrey Lunev couldn’t resist a playful dig at Zenit St. Petersburg following his team’s hard-fought victory over Krasnodar in the 29th round of the Russian Premier League.
Lunev made two crucial saves during the match, helping Dynamo Moscow secure a 2-1 win. After the final whistle, he was interviewed by Match TV and quipped: “Maybe Zenit won’t postpone the anniversary this time. Just kidding, of course.”
With this result, Dynamo Moscow moved to 42 points, sitting in eighth place in the league standings. Krasnodar, with 63 points, remained second, while Zenit leads the table with 65 points. The match was tightly contested: Krasnodar opened the scoring through Costa in the 32nd minute, Tyukavin equalized for Dynamo in the 48th, and Sergeev snatched the winner deep into stoppage time (90+3′).

Lunev’s lighthearted comment refers to the ongoing title race, where Zenit’s potential championship celebration might have been delayed by Dynamo’s unexpected result against Krasnodar. However, with one round remaining, Zenit still holds a two-point lead over Krasnodar at the top of the table.
