FC Petrolul Ploieşti edged out FC Dinamo București 1-0 despite being thoroughly outplayed. Rodrigo Martins's first-half strike was the difference, as Petrolul defended deep and held on against a dominant Dinamo side.
The only goal came in the 39th minute when Rodrigo Martins found the net for Petrolul. Dinamo pushed hard after the break but could not find an equaliser, with the match also featuring yellow cards for Iulius Marginean (20'), Martín Pascual (37'), Maxime Sivis (54'), Mark Țuțu (58'), Adam Zaian (65'), Robert Dumitru Jerdea (67') and Dan N'Lundulu (82').
Dinamo dominated the box score, enjoying 68% possession and firing 22 total shots to Petrolul's eight, but both sides had only three shots on target. Petrolul converted their one big chance, while Dinamo missed two of theirs—a classic case of a side being outplayed but taking their opportunity when it mattered.
