Cameroonian international Moumi Ngamaleu delivered a memorable performance in the Russian Cup, scoring twice in Dynamo Moscow's resounding victory over Spartak Moscow. The first leg of the semi-final, held on March 5, 2026, saw Dynamo Moscow triumph with a score of 5-2.
Ngamaleu opened the scoring in the 6th minute, setting the tone for an offensive match. Although Manfred Ugalde equalized for Spartak in the 31st minute (1-1), Ngamaleu restored his team's lead in the second half, marking his double.
Dynamo Moscow then dominated the match, with goals from David Ricardo, Yaroslav Gladyshev, and Maksim Osipenko, bringing the score to 5-1. Christopher Martins Pereira reduced the score for Spartak in added time (90+2'), but it was not enough to trouble Dynamo. Ngamaleu's outstanding performance earned him the title of man of the match.
Moumi Ngamaleu, 31, is a key player for Dynamo Moscow and the Cameroon national team. He plays as a winger. Before joining Dynamo Moscow in 2022, he played for Coton Sport FC de Garoua, Rheindorf Altach and Young Boys of Bern.
The return leg of this Russian Cup semi-final is scheduled for March 18. Dynamo Moscow is favorably positioned for a place in the final after this convincing victory.
Dynamo coach Rolan Gusev was rewarded for his choice to start Ngamaleu, who demonstrated his physical freshness and offensive impact from the start of the match. With 62 caps for the national team and 5 goals, Ngamaleu is a major asset for his club and country.
Dynamo Moscow will face Spartak Moscow on March 18 for the second leg.
