U Cluj – Dinamo, score 1-1a match in which Stanojev, Gheorghiță and Coubiș were the best from Transylvania, the “dogs” coming out on the ramp with Musi, Tarbă – a 19-year-old boy who is getting braver! – and Stoianov. The young footballers impressed!

U Cluj – Dinamo ended 1-1 and had a holiday, already. The players wanted it, the coaches wanted it, but it was not forced by any side under the conditions in which the positions in the ranking remained unchanged, and the “dogs” have one more play-off match, decisive, for Europe, with the infirmary already full. Here are the GSP notes!

U Cluj repaired their morale in front of their own fans

  • Lefter (grade 6) * He got everything he could get, he had some very well interpreted phases, he couldn't block Musi's goal.

  • Mikanovic (grade 5) * Competitive fatigue also caught him.

  • I. Cristea (grade 6) * Played well, blocked, had to leave the field due to muscle problems.

  • Coubiș (grade 6) * Hard to fool, he gained great confidence in his own strength.

  • M. Silva (grade 5) * Better in the second half after a shaky start. He had a lot of work, especially since Musi gave him a lot of trouble.

  • G. Simion (note 6) * OK.

  • Drammeh (grade 5) * So and so.

  • Stanojev (grade 7) * Transylvania's best player. Strength, intuition, intelligence.

  • Bic (grade 5) * Worker and that's it.

  • Gheorghiță (note 7) * Goal and offensive appetite, wanted to leave a positive impression at the end.

  • A. Trică (grade 6) * He tried to stand out, but he was the unlucky one in the first part. He scored, but it was offside, he looked for the short corner, but Roșca felt it (this time).

Coach Cristiano Bergodi (grade 6) * The stress and busy competitive calendar of the last few weeks was felt. However, U Cluj finished a very good season undefeated at home in the “goodbye” game.

They have also played:

  • Postolachi (grade 5) * Entered in the 55th minute instead of Trică. He produced (almost) nothing offensively. But he ran, tried to help.

  • Codrea (grade 6) * Entered the 55th minute instead of Drammeh. In the usual note.

  • Nistor (grade 6) * Entered in the 56th minute instead of Simion. He tried to “invent” some passes that could be important.

  • Chipciu (grade 6) * Entered in the 66th minute instead of Mikanovic. With attitude.

  • Macalou * Entered in the 82nd minute instead of I. Cristea. It's better that he doesn't get a grade, he gave Tarbă the opportunity to score with an assist.

Dynamo caught in the carousel of failures

  • Roșca (grade 5) * Careless on goal, but with two well-solved phases in the first part.

    Duțu (grade 5) * He has something special, he is from the future, but he still needs experience. Too permissive in the phase of Gheorghiță's goal.

  • Boateng (mark 6) * He was in the usual grade, substituted prematurely, however, in the 61st minute, as Zeljko Kopic did not want to risk anything for the Conference League play-off.

  • Stoinov (note 7) * Combative and impressive in a few phases of the second half, when he was the wall that Cluj could not overcome.

  • Opruț (note 6) * He did his job, tried to speed up, changed for technical reasons after an hour of play in order not to jeopardize his presence in the play-off for Europe.

  • Cr. Mihai (grade 5) * There is always room for better.

  • Mărginean (note 5) * He was changed at halftime, not necessarily because he was weak, but probably that was the plan, to play only one half, being in recovery after an injury that kept him away from the pitch for a month.

  • Cîrjan (note 6) * Even if he didn't go out on the ramp, he was the man who tried to organize Dinamo's “midfield”.

  • Musi (grade 7) * Not only did he score the equalizing goal, but he harassed the U's defense, tried from various areas of the field to take responsibility. Arguably, the player of the match. One of the best U21s in the Superliga, in the top!

  • Al. Pop (grade 5) * Hit the post in the first half, then kind of faded out of the game.

  • Caragea (note 5) * It did not have cursive.

Coach Zeljko Kopic (grade 7) * He made Dinamo a team that does not give in, and the fans like that. The Croat created the impression, and the reality on the field confirms it, that he can come up with something that can change the fate of the game.

They have also played:

  • Tarbă (note 7) * Entered in the 46th minute instead of Cr. Michael. He energized the offense, even if it wasn't accurate every time. Assist + chances, a 19-year-old footballer who can do wonders next season.

  • Milanov (grade 6) * Entered in the 46th minute instead of Mărginean. Coherent.

  • Ikoko (grade 5) * Entered the 61st minute instead of Boateng.

  • Țicu (grade 5) * Entered in the 61st minute instead of Opruț.

  • Toader * Entered the 82nd minute instead of Duțu.

Referee: Vlad Băban (grade 7): Neither the match raised any problems for him, nor did he want to stand out, everything was fine.

Assistant Marius Badea (grade 7): OK, no mistake.
Assistant Daniela Constantinescu (grade 8): Quick, careful look, on the phase, he saw exactly Trică's offside at the beginning of the match, the goal was correctly disallowed, he also saw that Tarbă was not out of the game for the equalizing goal. All signings were judged well, well done!
