After this victory, Universitatea Craiova once again climbed to first place in the ranking, at least until the match against Rapid.
Danny Armstrong, after Dinamo – Craiova 0-1: “Everyone can see, it was a penalty”
The Scot did not hide his disappointment at the end of the game and accuses a phase in the second act, when he claims to have been fouled in the box in an aerial duel.
“It's disappointment and frustration. We lost by a very easy goal. It's tough when you're playing against a team down to 10 men. They played their style, they won the game and that's why we're disappointed.
I think everyone can see what happened. Yes, it was a penalty! It's frustrating that they didn't even check the phase. I don't understand how that decision was not granted. I couldn't imagine it wouldn't go to the monitor. When I asked the referee after the match, he smiled, but we can't use that as an excuse for the defeat.”
Danny Armstrong: “It was again a situation misinterpreted by the referee”
Dinamo's footballer also commented on the tense moment in the first half, when he had a conflict with Baiaram, accusing referee Horațiu Feșnic of an erroneous interpretation:
“It was again a situation misinterpreted by the referee. I didn't do anything, he ran towards me and nothing serious happened.
In the second half they shot for a long time, there were many interruptions, and Craiova managed to get the three points. Whatever I say now doesn't help us and can't change anything.”
Finally, Armstrong also spoke about the team's situation:
“We still have eight games and a Cup semi-final. We are going through a period of bad results. In the last two games we played well, but we didn't manage to win. We need to bounce back and get wins as quickly as possible“, said the player in the flash interview from Digi Sport.
