Dinamo București took a comfortable 1-4 win against Sportinq Lăpuș in the Romanian Cup Group Stage on 2 September 2026. The visitors scored four goals while the hosts mustered only one reply, and the result left little doubt about the quality gap between them.
A. Musi opened the scoring for the away side in the fourth minute, then doubled his tally just before half-time with a nineteenth-minute strike. C. Cirjan added a sixteenth-minute goal in between, and the Romanian Cup match started to look one-sided from early on. By then, the home side had already seen two yellow cards coming their way.
And here's the thing about the second half — Sportinq Lăpuș tried to respond but the visitors found a way back into it whenever the hosts threatened. O. Hintsa extended the lead in the eighty-third minute, and the away side sealed it with another goal two minutes later. The hosts were left exposed defensively throughout the period.
The statistics tell a story of complete dominance. Dinamo București held 68 per cent possession, launched 76 attacks compared to 45 for the home side, and registered six shots on target against just two. Sportinq Lăpuș managed only two corners and one offside call, while the visitors had none.
To be fair, the home side had shown decent form recently with wins against UVS Iași and CSM Ajoud, but those results meant nothing against a side that needed the points badly. The Romanian Cup Group Stage is where you find out whether your squad can handle pressure, and this was not a good day for Sportinq Lăpuș.
