Who made the difference and who remained in the shadows? We analyze the performances of all the players and give the marks after the match in Gruia.

Cluj's scores in the match with Dinamo

• Mihai Popa (grade 6) – He gave safety in most of the game, but in the phase of the goal scored by Alexandru Pop he is among those “surprised”. He comes out late between the stumps to meet the shot.

• Viktor Kun (grade 5) – Karamoko gave him big problems, as did Opruț, when he went up. Non-existent offensively.

• Sheriff Sinyan (note 7) – Safe interventions, calm, balanced in actions and duels. In addition, it appeared perfect upon completion.

• Marian Huja (grade 6) – Next, it is the non-integrated piece of Pancu's defense. He struggles to coordinate with his defensive mates, struggled against Pop, but Armstrong's save on the occasion boosts his mark.

• Mario Camorra (note 6) – Balanced game, didn't help the attack too much.

• Tidiane Keita (grade 6) – Stable in actions, not completed with Andrei Cordea.

• Damjan Djokovic (grade 5) – The link between defense and attack, but verticalized very little. He didn't deliver enough balls to Aliev.

• Karlo Muhar (grade 6) – He tried to direct the attacks, he didn't support Korenica very much.

• Andrei Cordea (grade 4) – If at the end of the regular season it exploded, in the play-off it is again extremely below expectations. I stop at annihilated without complicity. Immobile, totally gutless.

• Alibek Aliev (grade 5) – He just pivoted, without results for his team. He didn't put Boateng and Stoinov in danger.

• Meriton Korenica (grade 7) – Even if he didn't have the same energy in the second half, he performed consistently well. The goal is born from his stubbornness to force the goal.

• Daniel Pancu (grade 6) – The changes did not produce. A much too defensive approach, a point won on the limit.

Along the way they also entered:

• Lorenzo Biliboc (64', score 6) – Deleted performance, gave the impression that he entered the field tired.

• Adrian Păun (64', score 6) – Minor achievements, in both game plans.

• Christopher Braun (65', score 7) – He keeps the point. Excellent intervention on Cătălin Cîrjan's lobe.

Dynamo's scores in the game with CFR Cluj

• Alexandru Roșca (grade 5) – He showed his weakness with the goal conceded. The worst rejection possible, and Sinyan executed it.

• Maxime Sivis (grade 6) – In Korenica, he had a difficult opponent.

• Kennedy Boateng (grade 7) – Clean, airy game, gave safety in defense. With a good pass, always in front, helping the team enormously in the construction as well.

• Nikita Stoinov (grade 7) – He understood, this time, for minutes with his colleague from the defense. Additionally, he complements Kennedy perfectly when the Ghanaian steps up to the set pieces.

• Raul Opruț (grade 6) – Even if Andrei Cordea didn't put him in trouble, he could help more in the attack. He lacked the courage to attempt his shots this time.

• Alberto Soro (grade 6) – With good appearances on the build, but not completed.

• Eddy Gnahore (grade 6) – Consistent and yet largely cautious play.

• Cătălin Cîrjan (grade 7) – Very good pass for the goal scored by Pop. Next, they suffer in duels in decisive matches, such as those in the play-offs. For this reason, it does not have a pure game.

• Adrian Mazilu (grade 5) – He still has a long way to go to find his form and especially the courage to try and accept the failure of an action. Less lamented than in previous games.

• Alexandru Pop (grade 7) – Very good performance. He fought for every ball, he plays a role that is not really for him. Work, vitality… to be appreciated.

• Mamoudou Karamoko (grade 8) – The MVP of this game. He did not score, but an element of great danger. Playful, with crazy energy and excellent control of the ball. Two shots, one bar. Can Kopic keep it that way? This is the challenge.

• Zeljko Kopic (grade 7) – Dinamo, in the best match of the play-off. He didn't play defensively, he switched at the right time.

Along the way they also entered:

• Alexandru Musi (56', score 6) – Few successes, but active in key moments.

• George Pușcaș (57', score 6) – As expected. He lacks minutes, it's obvious, and he will have a hard time accumulating them.

• Valentin Țicu (69', score 6) – In the team's note, he did not bring a real plus on the field.

• Daniel Armstrong (69', score 6) – Agitated, he could score on the end. Unfortunately for Dinamo, he doesn't find peace when he can be decisive.

• Georgi Milanov (90') – He evolved too little to be graded.

The performance of referees

• Marian Barbu – grade 7. He left the game open, communicated well with the assistants, especially during the phase of the goal scored from offside by Djokovic.

• Mihai Marica and Imre Bucsi (assistants) – note 7. No problems.

• Florin Andrei and Marius Omuț (in the VAR room) – grade 7. No interventions.
