In the 66th minute of the game at the National Arena, between Dinamo and Unirea Slobozia, the Ialomi team missed a literally colossal chance to open the scoring. Roșca and Boateng did not understand each other, and the Dynamo stopper rejected up to 30 meters from the goal, with the Dynamo goalkeeper out of the goal, at which point the guests took advantage and were very close to 1-0.

Replays during the match showed that the ball would not have entered the goal, being saved by Roșca with his knee. At the end of the game, the television software confirmed that the ball crossed the goal line and the goal should have been awarded to the visitors.

In the flash-interview, immediately after the match, Roșca claimed that he is 100% convinced that the ball did not go in, being more interested in the knee injury.

“100% I say it didn't go in, I was there, it didn't go in. I was just interested in not having any knee problems. When I did the slide, I hit the bar. I'm going to have a check tomorrow, I have a hole in my knee. I finished the match with a lot of pain. It was out of sync with Boateng, I don't want to blame, it happens again”, said Roșca, immediately after the match.

Alex Roșca insisted in the mixed area that it was not a valid goal for Slobozia

“I feel very good, tomorrow we will see what it is. I wanted to give a long ball there, I had time to take it, but at safety he hit it, the ball reached the Slobozia team. When I was on the floor I wasn't thinking about the goal, I knew it wasn't, I just wanted to not have something on my knee.

It's good that we can score points, we want not to lose the points, to be there in the first positions and why not move to the first place. It was a nice road, especially since I started the first three stages more difficult. In any derby we want to win, not necessarily that 11 years have passed.

I can't say it's a weaker moment, they will come motivated. I spoke with Claudiu Niculescu, we talked a little, he congratulated me. Raul Opruț started to like scoring,” said Roșca, after the match, in the mixed zone.
