Boateng, Armstrong and Pușcaș were the highlights of the “dogs'” victory against FC Argeș (2-1), one that allows the red-whites to fight for 3rd place. Here are the GSP grades!
Dinamo defeated FC Argeș in extremis, score 2-1, after almost missing a victory that seemed accessible after the first half. The 'Dogs were again one step away from kicking a favorable situation, as has happened so many times before. And this season, and in the recent past.
Dinamo had 3 essential people for the victory that keeps the “pack” in the fight for the podium
– Epassy (grade 6) * He was basically unemployed in the first half. Only after the 40th minute did he see purple-white shirts in his area. Then, with the first shot on his goal area, he scored in the 64th minute. And because of him. He didn't pull his “zipper”. But then he somehow saved the situation, when he took an incredible shot from under the crossbar at Radescu's restart.
– Sivis (grade 5) * He was good in the first half, then the pace dropped. The visitors' goal came from his side. And he was not at the post, being surprised too in front.
– Boateng (note 8) * The Togolese's appetite for football is remarkable, even if he will leave for much more money in the summer in Turkey. Or in China. Somewhere over 50,000 euros/month salary. Boa also counted in attack, although he was comforted by bad luck. However, the fact that he doesn't get hit, that he doesn't take care of himself, brought him a lot of appreciation from the Dynamo fans. And the winning goal came as a reward for all that he has done well in this championship.
– Stoinov (note 6) * In the note of the good season in his first year at Dinamo.
– Stop (grade 6) * Maybe even better, to provide additional solutions on the attack phase. He offered more quality in the second half. He received the 4th “yellow” and misses the match with CFR Cluj.
– Cr. Mihai (grade 6) * A young man who does his job, has many good moments, a great possibility of growth.
– Gnahore (grade 6) * He was seen in the game in the first half, trying to order the team in both phases. He spins the wheels there in the middle. OK and in the second part.
– Cîrjan (grade 5) * A lot of desire, trying to make the ball for the shot, to stand out. He had two attempts. It was changed after an hour of play, cleaned, after the old medical problems.
– Armstrong (note 8) * Probably the man of the first half. Among the highlights of the victory. For the assist from the goal, for the way he “opened” the game, for how he saw certain future phases and for his attitude. And in the second half he “delivered”, not like in the first, but still far above others.
– Rifleman (grade 8) * A beginning. Goal, after one year and two months in a competitive competition. Plus two other gate phases. Trying to expose himself more, to be visible. A lot of determination, feeling that there is room for better. For more. He was close to the second goal as well, he settled for an assist on the decisive goal.
– Al. Pop (grade 4) * If he didn't have much to boast about in attack, he tried to compensate by coming in behind to help the defense. He dealt totally superficially – to use a mild word – the phase in the 47th minute, when he restarted badly from a situation in which he scored. Then he thought it was more technical than it is… He was substituted after an hour of play.
Coach: Zeljko Kopic (grade 7) * Removed. Dinamo won in the 91st minute and continues the fight for the podium. But after a first half in which he raced for misses, he came close to taking just one point in the match as he kicked – again and again – the advantage he had. But the final was saved by the attitude of the “dogs”, imposed (also) by Kopic, and the deflected success of Boateng.
They have also played:
– Milanov (grade 6) * Came on in the 61st minute instead of Cîrjan. Working.
– Musi (grade 6) * Entered in the 61st minute instead of Al. Pop. With attitude.
– Caragea * Entered in the 83rd minute instead of Cr. Michael.
– Tarbă * Came on in the 83rd minute instead of Armstrong.
FC Argeș has 4 of the 7 goals scored after the 90th minute in the play-off
– Cabuz (grade 6) * He did his best in the first part, especially since he had a lot of work. He also had a chance in a few situations. Defeated by a deflected shot in extra time.
– Oancea (grade 4) * Permissive, without much resistance in the first half. He stayed at the cabins during the break.
– M. Tudose (grade 5) * He has a good rating, he has allure, he is a footballer eligible for a big transfer in the summer, but he still needs experience and attitude.
– Garutti (grade 6) * It was a difficult obstacle for the dynamists to overcome.
– Sadriu (grade 6) * Baga “materials”, he is fearless, but football is not only strength. Especially when the opponent comes in waves. But he was among the good ones.
– Borța (grade 5) * He didn't commit it in such a way that he was caught by Dani Coman, but in the first half the “dogs” did what they wanted on his side. In the second half, he was moved to the right. OK there.
– Duck (grade 5) * So and so.
– Sierra (grade 4) * He was outnumbered in the first part, it was easy to be overtaken by the opponents
– Blagaic (note 4) * Nothing, nothing.
– Y. Pîrvu (grade 5) * Modest performance by this very talented young man, but who got lost in the details against the “dogs”.
– Matos (grade 6) * The star of Pitesti wore the opposite shoe in the first half. After which he started to show his worth after the break. He saw Bettaieb perfectly in the 61st minute, he knew how to use it and the equalizing goal came.
Coach: Bogdan Andone (grade 6) * After a first half in which the score was gentle with his formation, Bogdan Andone operated changes that were felt to the full. In team play, on the table, Argesul becoming that hard to kill team.
They have also played:
– Bettaieb (grade 7) * Came on in the 46th minute instead of Sierra. He scored cold-bloodedly, knowing what and how to do, goalless striker.
– Briceag (grade 6) * Entered in the 46th minute instead of Oancea.
– Rădescu (grade 6) * Entered in the 46th minute instead of Blagaic. He could have scored the winning goal for the Argesans.
– Emmers * Entered in the 76th minute instead of Y. Pîrvu.
– Tofan * Entered in the 84th minute instead of Borța.
Referee: Florin Andrei (grade 6) * Performance OK, but quite permissive with certain situations on the field.
Assistants Valentin Avram (grade 7) * OK.
Alexandru Vodă (note 7) * OK.
