It was a duel decided by “veterans” Denis Alibec, who opened the score for the guests (min. 61), with a shot from an angle, to the long corner, and Gicu Grozav, who equalized in the 83rd minute, when he sent into the net after the deviation of Alexandru Tudorie. Petrol’s goal phase was analyzed for about eight minutes by the referees in the VAR room for a possible offside position, who eventually validated the success.
One learns from mistakes, claims Gică Hagi
The Ploieste players had a goal canceled by VAR in the min. 35, when Mihnea Rădulescu managed to score, but the referees decided that the phase was irregular. After this result, Petrolul remains undefeated for seven stages, in which it has three wins and four draws, being in 5th place in the Superliga. On the other side, Farul has two draws and one failure in the last three stages, Gică Hagi’s team occupying the 11th position, with 3 points in front of the last ranked, Gloria Buzău.
“I don’t know why we lose control in the last minutes. The opponent takes a maximum risk and we lose balls with great ease. We lose the man in us. That’s football, it’s the little details that make the difference. They have a lot to learn, I hope they do. They are young, they have a lot to learn and I hope they learn. We will definitely have a difficult year, but it’s good that you also have moments like these in life, because you learn from them”, declared the manager of Faru at the end of the game in Ploiești..
