FCSB has successfully overcome a series of fire in the championship, having two wins and two draws against Dinamo (2-0), Craiova (1-1), Rapid (0-0) and the leader U Cluj (2-1) . The champion reached 24 points, climbed to the 5th place and is only 6 “lengths” behind her opponent from Sunday evening, with one match less played.
Gigi Becali struck after blowing Daniel Bîrligea to CFR Cluj. The striker is scoring on a conveyor belt for the red-blues, both in the domestic competition and in the Europa League, prompting Mircea Lucescu to call him to the national team.
The rookie of the champion made the law on the University field as well, scoring in the 30th minute with a return shot from 11 meters. Daniel Bîrligea also doubled his team’s advantage shortly after the break, after a launch by another player who will breathe the air of the national team, David Miculescu.
Emotions at the end for FCSB
At 2-0 for FCSB, the match got complicated for the people of Bucharest. Down to ten players in the 73rd minute, when Adrian Şut received his second yellow card, the red-blues suffered seriously, but Târnovanu was on duty. Five minutes before the end, the visitors’ goalkeeper was beaten by Vladislav Blănuţă, but the leader no longer had the strength to equalize.
