Orenburg ended an eight-match winless run in the Russian Premier League with a commanding 4-0 victory over Dynamo Makhachkala at the Gazovik Stadium. The matchday 10 clash, played on 10 October 2026, was Orenburg's first convincing win in the league since April 2024, when they beat Rubin 3-0. Bosnian forward Gedeon Guzina opened the scoring in the 17th minute, meeting Jordhy Thompson's cross from the right in a manner that seemed to disorient goalkeeper Nikita Karabashes, the ball sailing into the far corner. John Palacios doubled the lead in the 39th minute, heading home Ruslan Kul's assist after a slick three-pass move involving Damian Puebla. Guzina then grabbed his second on 53 minutes, outmuscling Alibekov in the air to head home. Thompson completed the rout from the penalty spot on 69 minutes after a VAR review ruled that Alarcon had fouled Gudina in the box. For Dynamo, it was a third consecutive defeat, and the match marked the debut of five-time Russian champion Daler Kuzyaev. Orenburg climbed from 12th to sixth with 12 points, while Dynamo dropped to eighth on the same points total. Can Orenburg build on this statement win in their next fixture against Rodina.
