“Finally we won. Krasnodar has taken a lot out of us in recent matches, so beating them was a matter of principle. Moreover, three days ago they dashed our dream,” Lunev said on Match TV.
Dynamo sits eighth with 42 points. Krasnodar (63 points) holds second place in the league table, but the Bulls failed to overtake Zenit (65) with one round remaining.
