ASA Târgu Mureș secured a 4:3 victory over Dinamo București in Liga II's eighth round on 22 September 2026. The hosts, who sit 13th with 11 points, took all three points from a match that swung in both directions. Dinamo, bottom of the table with just three points from eight games, could not hold on despite a spirited response after half-time. And here's the thing—the result extends Târgu Mureș's unbeaten run to three while leaving Dinamo's losing streak at seven.
L. Baban opened the scoring in the 21st minute, giving the home side an early advantage. Dinamo's D. Renta equalised five minutes after the break, and O. Chatziterzoglu then doubled his side's lead with a penalty in the 56th minute before adding another in the 61st. The visitors appeared to have the match won when they led 3:1, but the momentum shifted quickly. To be fair, the home side had been patient, waiting for their moment.
B. Kocsis pulled one back in the 63rd minute, and Baban restored parity six minutes later. The turning point came in the 75th minute when a home player scored to complete the turnaround, though the scorer is not recorded in the available data. Dinamo's defenders were left exposed as Târgu Mureș pressed forward, and the crowd roared them on through the final stages.
Three Dinamo substitutions were made at half-time, while the home side brought on M. Cioiu in the 62nd minute and A. Moga two minutes later. The match descended into disorder near the end, with four yellow cards shown in the final five minutes—three of them coming at 90+5. D. Renta had already been booked in the 28th minute, and another home player received a caution at 87.
The result leaves Târgu Mureș on 11 points, level on points with several sides above and below them. Dinamo remain rooted to 22nd place with just a single victory from eight matches. By then, the gulf between the two teams had become impossible to bridge in a single afternoon, regardless of how the match unfolded.
