The event, held at the Ozon Arena in Krasnodar, was part of a special tribute to coincide with the May 9th Victory Day celebrations.\n\nFollowing his symbolic strike to open the match, the veteran displayed remarkable vigor. Rather than being assisted off, Kuznetsov jogged briskly toward the sideline, even breaking into a light dance as he left the field of play. His spirited exit drew admiration from the crowd and players alike, underscoring the enduring spirit of the generation that endured the Great Patriotic War.\n\nThe match itself is a crucial second leg in the final of the RPL Path, a competition within the Russian football structure. The first encounter between these two sides, played on April 8th, ended in a goalless stalemate, 0-0. Therefore, the aggregate score is level, and the winner of this tie will advance to the Superfinal of the tournament.\n\nAs of the time of the veteran's kick-off, the score in the ongoing match remained 0-0. The official for the contest is referee Artem Chistyakov, hailing from Azov. The atmosphere at the Ozon Arena was charged with both sporting tension and patriotic sentiment.\n\nThe stakes for the victor are high. The team that emerges successful from this two-legged final between Krasnodar and Dynamo will earn the right to face Moscow's Spartak in the Superfinal. Spartak secured their place by defeating CSKA 1-0 in the final of the Regions Path, setting up a potential blockbuster showdown for the overall title.\n\nThe ceremonial kick-off by the veteran served as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by previous generations, seamlessly integrating a moment of national remembrance into the fabric of a major sporting event. It highlighted how football can act as a platform for honoring history while competing for glory on the pitch.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","A 99-year-old WWII veteran, Stepan Kuznetsov, performed the ceremonial kick-off in the RPL Path final between Krasnodar and Dynamo, jogging off the pitch with a dance to mark Victory Day.","326257612079239168","Dynamo","327901530919276545","326135634043342848","Premier League","327053632476286976","Dynamo vs FC Krasnodar","2026-05-07T18:07:22Z","wwii-veteran-99-takes-symbolic-kick-off-in-krasnodar-vs-dynamo-cup-final","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6459990-99-letnij-veteran-truscoj-pokinul-pole-posle-pervogo-udara-v-matche-krasnodar-dinamo.html",[45,50,62,63,64,65,66,67],"326222707169431552","326222707249123328","326222713142120448","326255038584328192","326257539962376192","326257636301344768",[46,51,69,70,71,72,73,74],"Anderlecht","Zulte Waregem","Canada","Legia Warszawa","Como","Arema FC","WWII Veteran, 99, Takes Symbolic Kick-Off in Krasnodar vs Dynamo Cup Final",[77,98,123,134],{"awayTeamId":50,"awayTeamName":51,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":78,"homeTeamId":79,"homeTeamName":80,"id":81,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":82,"matchName":83,"publishedAt":84,"slug":85,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":86,"teamId":79,"teamName":80,"teamIds":87,"teamNames":92,"title":97},"Roman Rotenberg, first vice-president of the FHR, supports Lokomotiv players in the Gagarin Cup who helped Russia win the Channel One Cup.
