Dynamo had a very powerful start to the season. Sandro Schwartz's men beat Rostov 2:0 away in the first round and then built on their success in the game against Ufa (3:2). In the first Moscow derby of the season, the White-blues beat CSKA with a score of 2:1. Dynamo were losing after the first half but made a comeback after halftime.
Dynamo lost points for the first time in the fourth round. They had an advantage and looked very solid in the game, but still yielded to Akhmat (1:2).

In the second round, the Red-greens got a strong-willed 2:1 victory over CSKA.
