In Slovenia, Jan Đapo was used to playing in front of a few hundred, at times a few thousand spectators, but in his first match in Russia, there were significantly more people in the stands – 10,027. Dynamo Makhachkala faced a competitor from Samara at the Anzhi Arena in Kaspisk, where the mentioned club has been based since 2022, and defeated Krylia Sovetov 1:0.
Jan Đapo, who recently transferred from Domžale to Russia for around 300,000 euros, started the match in the starting lineup of Dinamo. Coach Khasanbi Bidzhiev placed him on the left side of the midfield in a 3-4-2-1 formation, where he “”operated”” between defensive duties and attacking actions. As mentioned, Dinamo celebrated a 1:0 victory and recorded their first win in Group A of the cup competition, which also includes the Moscow giants Spartak and Dinamo. The only 21-year-old Jan Đapo, also a young Slovenian international, played until the 63rd minute when he was substituted by Temirkan Sundukov.
Jan Đapo and his teammates will be back in action on Sunday when they face a league match against Pari Nizhny Novgorod. Recently, Luka Vešner Tičić transferred from Koper to the latter, having played two matches in Russia so far. In the first, the opponent was Rubin, and in the second, Moscow’s CSKA, with Pari losing both encounters (2:4, 0:3).
