FC Botoșani – Dinamo 1-1. Zeljko Kopic (48 years old), the technician of the “dogs”, offered the first reaction after the draw in Moldova. In his view, Dinamo deserved the victory taking into account the opportunities they missed.

He stated that the first 15 minutes from Botosani they weren't the best, but in the end Dinamo created the bigger chances.

He believes that his students should be more careful in front of the goal if they want to fight for the first places in the Superliga. Dinamo is currently in 4th place, with 31 points, 4 behind the leader Rapid.

Zeljko Kopic, statements after FC Botoșani – Dinamo 1-1: “It's not the first time we dominate and don't score”

“We dominated, we had many chances. It's not the first time something like this happens, to have chances and not win. If we want to fight for the top positions we have to be more careful in front of the goal, to score more and more easily from such opportunities.

It's hard to play in Botoșani, in the first 10-15 minutes of the first half there was a bit of chaos, but after that we started to control the game. In the first dangerous action Botoșani scored, of course when you start dominating you give the opponent more chances to surprise you.

We behaved very well defensively in front of the wings of Botoșani, who are dangerous. I can't be happy with this aspect of the game, I mean the completion.

I never talk about referees' decisions. I am very happy with our progress, we want to win the last games of 2025. We are playing well, we have attitude on the pitch, as I saw it, our chances were much clearer and we should have scored more”, said Kopic, at Prima Sport.
