Zeljko Kopic's “dogs” achieved a success with dramatic accents on the Farul pitch, score 3-2, a match in which they had to come back from 0-1 and 1-2. The decisive goal came at the end, from the boot of Alex Pop, the man who had saved Dinamo and “Oblemenco” (2-2), but also in the away game with U Cluj in August (1-0).

Contacted by GSP.ro, Dynamo “veteran” Ion Pârcălab commented on the victory by which the red-whites tied Rapid on points. The two rivals from Bucharest have 48 points and are fighting each other for first place at the end of the regular season.

Ion Pârcălab, after Farul – Dinamo 2-3: “The dedication was seen, I can only congratulate them!”

“They look as if they were born at Dinamo”sounds one of Pârcălab's conclusions, impressed by the collective play displayed by Kopic's boys:

“At one point, I thought that the match would end in a draw and that it couldn't go any further, but they fought until the last minutes and they deservedly won in my opinion. It was a good game, the Lighthouse gave a good reply, as expected.

It was a tough match, they led us 2-1, but we had the strength to equalize and win in the last minutes. I can only congratulate them for the way they approached the game and for the dedication that was seen on the pitch.

Boateng scored the goals, but overall I liked the team. At Dinamo, they are a united team, they play for each other, we have to get them together. No one stands out individually, they form a very well-welded team and they have something… They look as if they were born at Dinamo!

They play nice, I see them running, how they hug and all these things tell me that there is an extraordinarily large unit there and that the locker room is very organized.

Alex Pop came in and scored a nice goal! I had a few emotions, it seemed a little off the line, I waited a bit to see the VAR, lest it was offside. I'm glad from the bottom of my heart that we won, because we have a tough match with Craiova waiting for us. On Monday we are at the Arena to see the match! Either we reach the top, in the first place, or we go down one place, two”, commented Pârcălab, for Gazeta Sporturilor.
