The game in the fourth tier is important for the fight for promotion, with the two teams demanding a known referee, accusing those in the area of ​​having sympathies for one of the two teams. Sebastian Colțescu did not receive a single match in the first stage of the play-off or the play-out of the Superliga, being held back from delegations, writes ProSport.

He was in the VAR room at Rapid – FCSB 4-0

In the derby in the last stage of the regular season, Rapid – FCSB 4-0, he called to review a phase on the central Ovidiu Hațegan in the 29th minute, although it was not required, according to the protocol. Hațegan went over Colțescu's decision and did not give 11 meters to Rapid, so the head of the referees, Kyros Vassaras, was disturbed by his error and gave them a free pass at this stage.
