Dinamo opened the scoring through Malagasy striker Hakim Abdallah (12), found free by Astrit Selmani. Cătălin Cîrjan (41) increased the advantage of the hosts, with a shot from the return, among four oil players. Kosovar Selmani (61) scored from Bulgarian Gheorghi Milanov’s cross, raising the score to 3-0.
Petrol reduced the difference through left defender Valentin Ţicu (82), with a beautiful shot from the angle, after a pass from Sergiu Hanca. In the next phase, Zeliko Kopic’s team won a penalty, after Ivorian Tidiane Keita’s foul on Dennis Politic, and the hosts’ captain converted the penalty kick (86).
Dinamo, 6 goals in two stages
After a long struggle, in which they were barely saved from relegation at the play-off stage, Dinamo shows a different face this season. In the first stage, the “dogs” lost at CFR Cluj (3-2), after leading 2-0, and now they scored the championship, 4-1 with Petrolul. In two games, the red and white scored 6 times, while last season they scored 22 goals in the first 30 stages and another 10 in the 10 play-out rounds.
On the other hand, Petrolul was the perfect victim. With big financial problems, the “Gazarians” are depressed, waiting for the new investors from Turkey to solve the money problems. Unpaid for several months, the Prahov players got into a fight in the locker room a week ago.
In another match of the 2nd stage of the Superliga, UTA Arad beat Hermannstadt 3-1 and temporarily settled on the first place of the ranking, tied with Craiova University.
