CS Tunari kicked off their summer preparations with a strong test against Dinamo București on Sunday, July 6, hosting the SuperLiga playoff contender at home. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, a positive result for Dan Alexa’s side, who managed to come back after falling behind in the second half.
After a goalless first half, Dinamo broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute through Andrei Ionică. However, CS Tunari responded swiftly, with Denis Pârcălabu leveling the score just three minutes later, a goal that stood until the final whistle.
Dan Alexa utilized the entire squad throughout the match, a common approach in early pre-season friendlies to assess player fitness and form. The starting lineup featured key players such as Moroz, Vasu, Pedro, and Arthur, while the second half saw fresh legs including goalkeeper Sebastian Micu and midfielder Levente Bara, both recent signings.
Looking ahead, CS Tunari will face CS Dinamo on July 12, another newly promoted Liga 2 side, followed by matches against Sepsi OSK, CS Păulești, and Concordia Chiajna later in the month. These games will provide further opportunities for tactical fine-tuning before the competitive season resumes.
The club has reinforced its squad after promotion from Liga 3 with three notable acquisitions: winger Arthur Gyorgyi, central midfielder Levente Bara—both from AFC Odorheiu Secuiesc—and goalkeeper Sebastian Micu from CSM Slatina, signaling Dan Alexa’s intent to build a competitive team for Liga 2 challenges.
This encouraging draw against a SuperLiga playoff team highlights CS Tunari’s growing potential and readiness to compete at a higher level, setting an optimistic tone for the upcoming season.
