Former Dinamo president Alexandru David claimed that during the SuperLiga opener between Csikszereda and Dinamo, the hosts deliberately switched off the stadium floodlights in the 61st minute, interrupting play when Dinamo was mounting strong attacks[1]. This forced a 30-minute stoppage which helped Csikszereda players recover physically before drawing 2-2, a result David believes was engineered to neutralize Dinamo’s momentum[1]. He suggested the power cut was a tactical move to break Dinamo’s rhythm, stating the hosts were physically depleted and in danger of relegation, implying a broader strategic ploy rather than a mere technical fault[1]. This controversy adds a layer of intrigue to the Romanian SuperLiga’s season start, highlighting potential manipulation tactics amid highly competitive fixtures.
