Dynamo Moscow coach Yuri Zhirkov has weighed in on the sending off of head coach Roland Gusev during the 29th round of the 2025/2026 Russian Premier League season against Krasnodar. The White-Blues secured a 2-1 victory, but Gusev received two yellow cards for disputing the referee’s decisions through both words and gestures. The match between Dynamo Moscow and Krasnodar saw goals from Costa (0-1, 32′), Tyukavin (1-1, 48′), and Sergeev (2-1, 90+3′).

“I didn’t even see what he was sent off for. Like all coaches, he just stepped to the touchline and was emotionally giving instructions to the players. I think those were undeserved yellow cards,” Zhirkov said, as quoted on the official Dynamo Moscow website. “This was our last home game, and we had to win it at all costs, which explains the emotional intensity.”

The incident has sparked debate over refereeing consistency in the league, especially given the high stakes for both teams. After this match, Dynamo Moscow sits in eighth place with 42 points, while Krasnodar remains second with 63 points. League leaders Zenit hold the top spot with 65 points. With only one round left, the race for the title and European spots remains intense, making every decision on the pitch crucial.
