Romania’s handball team Dinamo Bucharest on Thursday outperformed German side Fuchse Berlin 38-31 in a home game counting towards the Champions League’s Group A. At the end of a balanced first half the visitors had one goal more than the hosts. However, Dinamo made a successful comeback and put on a better play in the second half of the game. The hosts’ best scorers were the Brazilian Haniel Langaro and Israeli Yoav Lumbroso, each with five goals.

Following this result, Dinamo advanced to the third place in Group A, with 10 points out of 7 matches.  Veszprém and Paris Saint-Germain are ranking first in the group each with 12 points. Dinamo will be playing the first game on November 21 also against Fuchse, this time in Berlin.

This week has seen the football matches of the groups stage of Romania’s Cup.  Two surprising results were registered on Thursday: third leaguer Sănătatea Cluj secured a one-all draw against first leaguer Farul Constanţa, which managed to score the equalizer only in the 85th minute of the game through Rivaldinho, the son of the great Brazilian footballer Rivaldo. Another surprising result was the one-all win of the second-leaguer Metalul Buzău against Universitatea Craiova. In the leg’s derby, FCSB secured a 4-0 win against Dinamo Bucharest.

This weekend will be seeing the matches of the Superleague’s 15th leg. In the first match on Friday Gloria Buzău plays CFR Cluj. On Saturday, Sepsi OSK is taking on Petrolul Ploieşti in a home match while Dinamo Bucharest receives UTA of Arad. On Sunday, Politehnica Iaşi will be up at home against Oţelul Galaţi, while Universitatea Cluj on its own turf plays Farul Constanţa. Universitatea Craiova takes on FCSB in a home match. The leg’s last two matches are on Monday when Unirea Slobozia plays FC Botoşani and Rapid Bucharest plays FC Hermannstadt. Universitatea Cluj tops the ranking with 29 points, followed by Petrolul with 22.
