What kind of an unlucky debut for Komlichenko for Dynamo: two super-moments – a bar with a crossbar

Russia. Premier League Russia Dynamo Komlichenko Nikolay
Also a lost derby.
In the starting lineup of Dynamo for the game with Spartak, his dearest newcomer of the winter did not appear – Nikolai Komlichenko remained in reserve. The lack of a forward Dynamo head coach Kirill Novikov explained as follows: “It is connected with the strengths and weaknesses of Spartak players.

In the 3-4-3 scheme, the top three attacking Dynamo players were Igbun, N’Zhie and Szymanski. The Polish legionnaire was replaced by Komlichenko in the 56th minute. Six minutes later, Dynamo conceded a second goal against Spartak.

Dynamo looked unconvincing, but after Komlichenko left the team at least scoring chances began to appear. With the first blow, the striker shook the goal post of Spartak, almost equalizing the score (by that time it was still 0: 1).

At the 69th minute, another disappointment. Komlichenko cool beat Gigot in someone else’s penalty area, but from a vantage point struck the crossbar.

There was still a moment at the end of the match, but Komlichenko had already created it for his partner – he gave the ball to N’Zhie, who shot on goal, “Spartak” was rescued by Maksimenko.

Two blows, one key pass, one won horse combat, earned foul – what Komlichenko gained in half an hour of the game. Another thing is important – with his release, Dynamo launched an attack, and Spartak did not immediately figure out how to contain it.

Playing for almost an hour without Komlichenko, Dynamo practically didn’t create anything, but his output showed how much more interesting the attack of the club could become. And he would direct the ball a little to the left in the first moment and a little lower in the second – perhaps the game could have been saved.
