Dinamo Bucharest beat Voluntari 4:0 in the fourth round of the Liga I regular season on Saturday evening. The hosts took all three points at home, extending their unbeaten run to four matches while Voluntari's struggles continued. By then the gap between the sides had become obvious to anyone watching.
The opening goal came at the 40th minute when Daniel Armstrong converted a penalty. It was a clinical finish that shifted the momentum, and here's the thing — Dinamo played with a confidence that Voluntari simply couldn't match. The visitors tried to respond but found themselves second to everything after that moment.
Alin Musi added a second at the 73rd minute, a straightforward goal that put the result beyond doubt. The game opened up in the closing stages with three more goals, all during stoppage time. Ovidiu Hintsa scored at 90+6 and Alexandru Mazilu completed the scoring at 90+11. These were the moments that decided the match, not the 90 minutes of possession statistics.
There were several substitutions across the final half-hour as both managers tried to change the tone. R. Gutea and D. Harut came on for Voluntari, while M. Pascual, D. Armstrong and I. Gheorghe were brought into the fray for the hosts. Three yellow cards were shown in total — R. Oprut and A. Chica-Rosa for Dinamo, R. Crisan for Voluntari — all in the last 22 minutes.
The numbers tell part of the story. Dinamo held 62 per cent possession and registered 117 attacks compared to Voluntari's 53. They created six big chances and took 16 shots on target, though only four found the net. Voluntari managed two shots on target from two attempts, but their lack of creativity showed in just three key passes against Dinamo's 16.
The result leaves Dinamo top of the table with 17 points from eight games, five wins and two draws. Voluntari sit 15th with just eight points, two wins and four defeats. To be fair, the visitors had shown fragments of improvement in their previous fixture against UTA Arad, but this performance suggested they still have work to do before the season gets serious.
