U Cluj – Rapid 0-0. The Giulesti asked for a penalty in the 88th minute of the match on Cluj Arena. Antoine Baroan was made by Cisse, and the referee Florin Andrei decided that the incorrectness happened on the edge of the box, not on the line or inside.
The Rapid striker was held by the central defender from U Cluj. Baroan fell and the “central” dictated free kick from 16 meters. The Giulesti asked for a penalty, considering that the holding is over.

Ovidiu Herea, the former striker of the Rapid, analyzed the phase and believes that Cisse's holding was over, implicitly Costel Gâlcă's team had to receive a penalty.
The holding starts outside the car. But when he lets it, he is in the box. That's how I see it. If it is taken when it lets it … it lets it in the box, the phase is very difficult.
