1987–88 FC Dinamo București season

March 2020 FC Dinamo București 1987–88 Mircea Lucescu Manager Divizia A 2nd Romanian Cup Finalist Cup Winners' Cup First round Claudiu Vaişcovici (27 goals) 1986–87 1988–89 The 1987–88 season was FC Dinamo București's 39th season in Divizia A. Dinamo had a perfect start in the championship, winning the first ten games. In the 11th round came the first and only defeat of the season, against Politehnica Timişoara. Despite that, Dinamo finished second, behind Steaua. In the Romanian Cup, Dinamo reached the final, where it met Steaua. The final had an unusual development. Steaua scored first, Dinamo equalised in the 87 minute, and in the additional time Steaua scored a goal, invalidated by the referee, due to offside. Steaua players left the field, Dinamo was given the trophy, but later the Romanian F.A. (bowing to pressure from the Communist Party) awarded the match 2–1 to Steaua. After the revolution of December 1989, Steaua propositioned to return the trophy to Dinamo, which refused to take it. In Europe, Dinamo was eliminated in the first round of the Cup Winners Cup, by the future winner of the competition, KV Mechelen.
