C. S Dinamo Bucuresti (ROU) vs Orlen Wisla Plock (POL) 29:20 (13:10)

Not even an injury for their strong right back Amine Bannour could stop Dinamo Bucuresti in an important game at home against Plock on Wednesday evening.

Dinamo led from an early stage with their back court line, their right wing Razwan Gavriloaia and line player Mohamed Mamdouh enjoying plenty of success.

In combination with their usual solid defence, the home team established a three-goal lead already at 5:2.

During the rest of the first half, the Romanian hosts were leading by two or three goals before becoming even more dominating after the break.

In the second half, Dinamo went 17:12 ahead and cruised from there, extending their lead to nine goals by the end and went clear at the top of the group by two points.

“I think the difference was also made by the fact that we had more possibilities on the bench, we took out the wings, who scored many goals in Poland, we stayed well in the central block and Saeid Heidarirad had a big day.

“The fans were fantastic and this current Dinamo team is the best team in Romanian in the last 30 years,” said Dinamo coach Ștefan Constantin.
