Dinamo-2 Makhachkala edged out Nart Cherkessk 1-0 in a tightly contested RUS D3B fixture on Sunday. The narrow victory at the Dinamo Stadium provides crucial points for the Makhachkala reserve side in a competitive regional third-tier league. The only goal of the game arrived midway through the first half, with Dinamo-2 scoring from a well-rehearsed set-piece routine, a header from a near-post corner. Nart Cherkessk pushed hard for an equalizer, hitting the post in the second half and forcing several smart saves from the home goalkeeper. The match was characterized by strong defensive organization from both sides, with the final key moment being a last-ditch block by a Dinamo-2 defender in stoppage time to preserve the clean sheet. This result helps Dinamo-2 Makhachkala consolidate a place in the top half of their group table, while Nart Cherkessk's away form remains a concern. The home manager commented, "It was a battle, and the three points are all that matter." The Dinamo-2 starting lineup featured a blend of youth and experience from the parent club.
