In the decisive round, the “dogs” come across Mircea Rednic’s UTA. Victory does not ensure their stay on the first stage. The three points do not guarantee a dam to the rescue either.
The victory with UTA is not enough for Dinamo
With a possible triumph over the Aradians, Dinamo would end the season with 25 points. How would they downgrade directly in this scenario? Here are the calculations:
- FC Botoșani gets at least one point in the Oțelul away match;
- FC Voluntari gets at least one point in the home match with U Cluj;
- FCU Craiova gets at least 3 points from the last two matches: away with UTA and at home with Hermannstadt;
- Poli Iasi gets at least 4 points from the last two matches: away with Hermannstadt and at home with Petrolul.
Only 3 of the 4 conditions need to be met for the “dogs” to be mathematically relegated.
The tiebreaker criteria are against Dinamo
In the current format of the Superliga, the first tie-breaker criterion is rounding to entering the play-out. Among the formations in the fight for salvation, FC Voluntari she is the only one who did not benefit from it. Ilfoveni have an advantage in case of equal points with the other teams.
The next criterion is number of points in the regular season. Dinamo is bad here as well. He finished in the penultimate position. It would win only in the event of a tie with FC Botosani.
Kopic still hopes
We had a good game, we saw a lot of good things in our game. But it’s hard to score like that in the end. It’s a frustration. And it is very difficult to explain what is happening. We conceded quickly, but we continued to play and scored. I think we played well, but we conceded goals on two mistakes. But I can say that I saw a lot of good things.
We will fight to the end for Dinamo and for this shirt. We were at our best, but we lost a lot of points. And now we are at the hands of others. It’s very hard, but it’s our job to work
