Thinking about the return with Maccabi Tel-Aviv from the 2nd preliminary round of the Champions League, FCSB started with the reserves the match against Oțelul, from the third stage of the Superleague. Cisotti scored for Galatasaray in the penultimate minute of the first half, triggering the anger of Gigi Becali.

The boss made three changes at halftime, replacing Luis Phelipe with Alexandru Băluță, David Miculescu with Daniel Popa and Mihai Lixandru with Marius Ștefănescu. This even if goalkeeper Andrei Vlad and defender Vlad Chiricheș were the ones who made a laughing stock of the guests’ first goal, making a blatant mistake.
On Wednesday, FCSB plays the second leg against Maccabi
Even with the three starters in the team, FCSB played just as poorly. Oțelul gave another shot, through Zivulic, who scored after an hour of play, so Gigi Becali reappeared in the foreground. Immediately, the financier of the team threw Valentin Crețu and William Baeten into the game instead of Malcom Edjouma and Nana Antwi, but still in vain, the Galatians winning 2-0 in Ghencea.
FCSB suffered their first defeat this season, after drawing with U Cluj and Unirea Urziceni in the first two stages, so they are struggling at the bottom of the standings, with two points in three stages. On July 31, the champion plays the return leg against Maccabi Tel Aviv, at the Bozsik Arena in Budapest. The game starts with a score of 1-1, and the winner goes to the third preliminary round of the Champions League. The loser will perform in the same phase of the Europa League and will meet Panevezys, the champion of Lithuania.
