Louis Munteanu, in great shape
The Clujians won 4-1 in Arad and took the reins in the standings, climbing the first position. They scored Louis Munteanu (48 and 52), the Brazilian Leo Bolgado (62) and the Portuguese Simao Rocha (89), respectively the Valentin Costache (75). CFR took its revenge after winning 3-1 in UTA.
