GD Estoril-Praia 1 : 2 Dinamo Moscow - Dinamo power on

Dinamo Moscow claimed a 2-1 win over Estoril in Thursday night's Europa League Group E match as goalkeeper Vladimir Gabulov made a fine penalty save.

Aleksandr Kokorin scored the opening goal with a low swerving shot in the 52nd minute to set Dinamo on their way to victory, which seemed all the more assured when Kleber saw his penalty saved by Gabulov's legs midway through the half.

Yury Zhirkov wrapped up the win for the Russian side with an 81st-minute header, with Yohan Tavares' goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time not enough for Estoril to salvage any points from the game.

The result keeps Dinamo at the top of the group with a perfect run of three wins from three in their European campaign.

Dinamo started the game strongly and Cristian Noboa was unlucky not to score the opening goal in the ninth minute with a brilliant strike which was saved by Estoril keeper Vagner.

However, it took until the second half to break the deadlock, when Kokorin let fly from 25 yards to beat Vagner with a swerving low shot which skidded off the pitch and hit the right post and then the left before going in.

Estoril had the chance to equalise from the spot in the 73rd minute after Douglas was penalised for handball, but Kleber drilled the ball straight down the middle and Gabulov saved with his legs.

Zhrikov added Dinamo's second with a firm header from Noboa's dinked cross to seal the win, with Tavares' 18-yard strike deep into stoppage time only serving as a late consolation for the Portuguese side.
