Dinamo hit the end of the University of Cluj, score 1-0. Alex Pop, in the first goal in the “dogs” shirt, scored the Victoria's goal in the 89th minute, after a match in which the game of both had left it to be desired. The “dogs” go up 5 in the superlig and reach four consecutive matches without fail!

It seemed like an eternity from the “dam” that “U” and Dinamo played three years ago, a match that sent “dogs” for purification. Nothing today does not bring with that dynamo, A club that has changed its structure, budget, morals, partially and colors, if we relate to the yellow-black and more present in Dinamo's life.

Returning to Cluj after the Untold banished her through the neighbors for a month, the university stabilized after a start of season on the gasket received Dinamo, A Dinamo rather floating on a cloud after the fairy tale evening with FCSB.

U Cluj and Dinamo had used to “bread on bread” last play-off, but none excelled in an anost, no rhythm, immersed in a pressing lethargy.

Only the recklessness of Gheorghiță and the simulation of Musi would be to be noted in a first quarter of an hour below the standards with which they are used to Sabău and Kopic.

Throughout their evil, Dinamo was a little better

Superior through possession, speed and initiative against an unusually insecure team, Dinamo has exploited its vitality by two successive occasions coming to Chirila's gate. Kyriakou, with his head, and opruț, from angle, could not confuse him on the goalkeeper “red hats”, and “u” escaped with a clean face from a disappointing play!

It was only Nistor, in the 38th minute, he pushed as much as the stands, but the remote shot of the “veteran” caught Epassy's gate.

Finally, “” U “and Dinamo ended in Zero 45 minutes to forget. Does anyone wake up at the break?

Sabău took him to the board at the break …

Meant that Sabău was not tolerated at all well the left -hand of the first part, The “students” came out with three news from the cabins. Fresh blood pulsates, for the moment, only in the enclosure from which Lukic and Boateng are chosen with a “yellow”. Football remains in the second plane.

Previded by all the dynamovist breath, Stoinov was committed in the 50th minute, but the Cluj was too slow to take advantage of the Israeli's disorder.

… in vain!

With the sila, as if, in the field, the two continued in the same inconclusive note, until Chipciu finally sent to Epassy's gate (62 '). The Cameroonian reflex saved Dinamo, invisible in the first 20 minutes of the second half. The expression of the “dogs”, difficult to look at by their own fans!

Dinamo has hardly found their tone, and people who knotted FCSB, Musi and Armstrong, have passed the whole match in hilarious and non-reasons. Not surprisingly, both finished the match on the bench, naturally changed by a bullied kopic on the edge of the field.

Pop just hit!

Without a goal from the transfer, the new-entering Alex Pop could hit a few minutes after entering the field, but the shot from outside the box took the lawn! When he had finally put it in the threads, the correct signaling of the cough was ruined by the expected moment of months (81).

But the joy of the former “student” was just postponed!

Something more present at the end of the match, taking advantage of the general vlaga in the camp “U”, Dinamo hit the 89th minute. No one could cancel the successful success of Alex Pop, who completed the speed, under the goalkeeper Chirilă, for a dynamo victory that seemed unlikely!

Zeljko Kopic, before the match with U Cluj: “We know what awaits us”

Zeljko Kopic, the coach of Dinamo, prefaced the match that his team will play in the company of the University of Cluj. He talked about the opponent, but also about the problems he has in the lot for this game, including about Stipe Perica.

“After leaving the European competition, they won the match with the Lighthouse, away, with a player less almost all the match. For them there is certainly an extra positive energy. I expect it to be in a good form.

Nistor is always their leader. They have a good team, play in two different systems, depends on the match and situations. They have times when they do not catch the best shape, but at home I am a strong team. We know what awaits us and we have to be at our highest level to play well and to give everything to take the points.

[despre Perica] We are constantly communicating with him, I am in relation to his doctor, a Croatian that I know very well. The problem is being solved. We understand that it is difficult for him, for everyone, for the club, for the team, for me as a coach. But for Stipe it is the hardest situation, because his ambition for this season was very big. He wanted to continue where he finished last season, with good developments, with goals, and to stay at the same level. It is very difficult for him and we have to offer him all possible support.

Next we cannot count on Mărginean and Licsandru. But the good news is that Bordușanu trains normally and Maxime Sivis as well, are prepared for the match. Also, we cannot count on Mihai and Milanov, because of the red cards. Otherwise, all the other players are apt, we will be the preparation said Zeljko Kopic, Dinamo's coach, quoted by Dinamo1948.Club.

Andrei Gheorghiță, at ​​the first appearance on Cluj Arena: “Dinamo has quality, will give everything to win”

I saw that the team was going through a slightly more difficult period, but automatically, the victories bring us morally and we hope to come as much as possible and, why not, it will be a series like last year or even longer. Next, Dinamo has quality and I am sure they will give everything they can to win this match. Personally, I have had beautiful debuts, but now I hope the continuation is different. I also hope to meet all our goals.

– Andrei Gheorghiță, Extreme U Cluj, according to fcucluj.ro
