Victory very important for FCSB, which goes 5 points from CFR Cluj and 6 by Craiova University, the band of Mirel Rădoi evolving Monday, tomorrow, with Dinamo, in Bucharest.
Ranking now in the play-off
Chronicle by Eduard Apostol: The movie that makes it famous on FCSB: small, but big step, in the fight for the title!
A match that could have meant something, quite a lot, in the championship economy. Perhaps even one of the championship finals, depends on how much the powers will hold on to Craiova University.
Korenica (3) took Târnovanu's measures. A clear signal that Dan Petrescu's team came to force the victory, that he will not stay in the box, that he does not want to repeat the boring game in the match with Rapid (1-1).
The champion was not moving at all on the offensive in the first quarter of an hour. CFR came up with a Presing up, meant to stop any ideas that could come to Cisotti and Tanase. Cluj people wanted to play hard, with speed combinations. The red-blue could not pass too much, they just tried to limit the losses. Târnovanu put his gloves to work, the defensive line was hard to try.
CFR Cluj – Black -Out at Cisotti's goal, successful for the champion
From here started the style of the band of Charalambous, from a disciplined defense, which would limit the access roads to its own gate. In the attack, and when the ball arrived, the offensive footballers prevented themselves in front of the opponents. CFR just waited for the spark!
However, Louis Munteanu did not benefit from useful balloons, Kamara and Nkololo only harassed the defense of FCSB, nothing to scare the elastic defense of the champion.
More and more rare are the footballers who can destabilize the opponent with a phase taken on their own, with dribling. Fică dared and gave him the ball of Louis Munteanu (34), who fired intelligently, but Târnovanu was again unbeatable.
FCSB showed why the favorite #1 is left to win the title. The movie I saw this season, either in the championship or in Europe. At the first true opportunity, he left with the hours of joy. The peak, after an out, which becomes even more embarrassing for Dan Petrescu's band!
15The goals took the ones from CFR Cluj from the fixed phases, the team from Gruia being the band-off band with the most goals taken from the static moments
Şut has dislocated all the defense of the CFR, which suffered a black-out, and Cisotti (41) appeared in front of the gate, fulfilling a formality. The success of Dan Petrescu, who saw and reviewed the phase, annoyed at the peaks. Permissive daughter, Aerian Djokovic, Bolgado passing the fault of another and CFR na had a bit of reaction.
After the goal in Out, the one from Corner came to Dan Petrescu's gate
At 1-0, the guard was left down. CFR did not allow himself to accuse the shock, started again in the second part. FCSB, on the contrary, put his rival in frightened. Tanase offered an extraordinary pass for Cisotti (54), but Hindrich blocked flawlessly. It was, in fact, just a postponement of the sentence.
Corner, Radunovic jumped over the ball, again putting the “railway” in difficulty, and Chiricheș (56) shot that when he kneeling the Ajax, also on the National Arena. 2-0 and FCSB took an option, small, but big, for the big trophy!
The champion seized football, CFR was lost in time and space. Take empty to the first corner … after you had 7 or 8 … the team Dan Petrescu came to be counted as in boxing: Camora and Abeid got confused, the latter wanted to pass to his own goalkeeper-or nobody knows exactly what he had in his head! -because he put the ball on the tray to Cisotti (63). The Italian scored simple and elegant.
Bread and circus for 1st place derby
In the general euphoria, Mihai Popescu (65) forgot that he is only central defender and plunged his hand – a reckless gesture – at the resumption of Korenica. Şut and Chiricheș reproached the colleague the phase that left the team with a less man, Popescu being suspended and quickly in Giulești!
Plus the penalty, which Louis Munteanu executed (66). Târnovanu felt where the opponent's striker was drawing, but the lots turned their face to the suffering team, because the ball returned, from the bar, to the new Transylvanians, who pointed out of the second attempt.
CFR forced his luck. With a deplorable defensive game, he sought to push the lines in attack. Abeid (72) noticed Târnovanu. FCSB remained dangerous on the counterattack, and Florin Tănase abnessed the moments of restlessness in his camp. The red-blue shepherd was a solitary peak, implanted between Dan Petrescu's defenders.
Târnovanu was (almost) impeccable between the goals and he also mastered the game of the nerves, knowing how to take time to be good at the team at certain times. Louis Munteanu's goal (90+6) came to complete a match as a Russian Montagne. The time has been implacably elapsed against the disadvantage formation on the table.
The difference, of score, attitude, mentality, made the FCSB absorb the pressure with a man less on the ground. Especially since it has been put in such situations in countless occasions in Liga 1 and in the Europa League.
