In the first official match of 2026, Dinamo dominated its opponent in the first half. U Cluj had some dangerous actions through Macalou, but Zeljko Kopic's team struck just before the break.
VIDEO | Mamadou Karamoko opened the scoring in Dinamo – U Cluj
The Dynamo players put Gertmonas, the Lithuanian from Cluj's goal, to the test several times. He could not intervene in the 41st minute.
The phase started from right back Maxime Sivis. He crossed on foot inside the box, but the ball was rejected by the home defense until Alberto Soro.
The Spaniard made up for his misses a few minutes ago and crossed perfectly to Mamadou Karamoko. The Frenchman elegantly took over on the chest and shot with his right foot, no chance for Gertmonas.
U Cluj's defense left much to be desired in this phase and kept Dinamo's footballer in the game.
Karamoko scored 6 goals for Dinamo in 17 games. It is by far the most effective tip in Zeljko Kopic's squad. He competes for the post with Stipe Perica and Alexandru Pop.
In fact, Karamoko also scored in the friendlies that the “dogs” played in the training camp in Antalya, with Young Boys Berna and Gangwon.
