Dinamo București has maintained a strong start to the Romanian championship under manager Nuno Campos. The team’s momentum began with a 4-0 victory against FC Voluntari in the fourth round, featuring goals from Daniel Armstrong, Alexandru Musi, Oliver Hintsa, and Adrian Mazilu. Following that win, Campos praised the supporters, stating, “Our supporters are wonderful. Whenever we need them, they are with us. Because of them, we manage to score so much!”

In the subsequent Giulești derby, Dinamo defeated Rapid București 1-0, marking their first victory at that venue in 12 years. Mamadou Karamoko scored the decisive goal in the 72nd minute following an assist from Oliver Hintsa, a result that temporarily placed Dinamo at the top of the Superliga. Following the match, executive president Andrei Nicolescu announced a special derby bonus of 1,800 euros for the players. While Karamoko expressed a desire for more playing time, Campos noted the player required more preparation to play full matches consistently.

In the sixth round, Dinamo secured a 2-1 win over U Cluj, with Danny Armstrong scoring both goals for the side. This victory solidified Dinamo’s position at the top of the league standings. During the match, Mamadou Karamoko made his first start under Campos following injury recovery. The game was also marked by controversy when U Cluj manager Cristiano Bergodi received a red card after a confrontation with a supporter; Bergodi later described the individual as ‘a wretch’ while expressing regret for his reaction. Amidst these successes, Dinamo announced the signing of Portuguese attacking midfielder Diogo Pinto on a one-year contract.

Dinamo continued their successful run into the eighth round of the Superliga, securing a 2-1 victory over FCSB in a high-tension derby. Analysts have noted that Dinamo remains a potential contender in the title race alongside Rapid and Universitatea Craiova.
