League II, Round 5
Viitorul Selymber took all three points away at Dinamo Bucharest, winning 1-0 on Saturday. C. Cocos opened the scoring in the eighth minute and that was enough for the visitors. Dinamo remain rooted to the bottom of the table after five rounds, while Viitorul move slightly clear of the drop zone.
The goal came early and the rest of the match settled into something more cautious. Dinamo had chances to respond but never quite found the rhythm. To be fair, Viitorul were disciplined enough to see out the result without taking unnecessary risks.
What stood out was the disciplinary record. Eight yellow cards were shown across the ninety minutes, with Dinamo receiving the bulk of them. The second half brought four more cautions, suggesting tensions rose as the hosts grew frustrated. By then the score was set and the match had little to offer beyond that.
Looking at the standings, Dinamo sit nineteenth with three points from five games. One win, four defeats — they have not won since the opening weekend. Viitorul are sixteenth, five points from their own tally, with one victory and two draws to their name.
Recent form does not bode well for either side, though the gap between them is narrowing. Dinamo's last five matches read win-loss-loss-loss-loss, while Viitorul have shown more resilience with two draws included. The away end never stopped, but it was not enough to turn things around.
