Unirea Slobozia saw off Dinamo București 8-0 in the sixth round of Liga II's regular season on Saturday. The home side had dropped points in five of their previous six league games, but this time they made no mistakes. Dinamo, sitting one place below them, could only watch.
And here's the thing — the scoreline tells only half the story. B. Ventura opened the scoring in the fourth minute, and from then on the visitors never really got their feet under them. L. Campan added two before half-time, while F. Borges struck twice in quick succession around the half-hour mark.
By then Dinamo had already shown three yellow cards and one substitution, but the damage was done. G. Gogescu came on at the 27th minute, but the context was all wrong — you don't bring on a fresh legs when you're three goals down and being outplayed.
The second half brought little relief. Ventura found the net again in the 59th minute, and R. Necsulescu wrapped things up with a brace late on. Four yellow cards in the first half alone told you what kind of afternoon it was going to be — frustration, not football.
What does this mean? Unirea move off the bottom of the table with four points from six games, while Dinamo remain rooted in 21st place with just three points and five defeats. The gap between them is still small, but the quality of performance speaks for itself.
