The duel of the evening in the Superliga, Farul Constanța – FC Argeș, came with a controversial phase in the 45+3rd minute. At one stage in the “sailors” box, during a duel between Bogdan Țîru and Rober Sierra, the referee Radu Petrescu dictated a penalty for the “purple eagles”, but later reversed the decision and canceled it. Ianis Zicu's team asked for a second yellow for the visiting midfielder.
In the end, Rober Sierra did not receive the second warning, but Radu Petrescu showed it to Ianis Zicu, the technician from Farul Constanța
Controversial phase at Farul Constanța – FC Argeș: Radu Petrescu gave a penalty, reversed the decision, and then forgave Rober Sierra for the second yellow
Rober Sierra escaped into the Faral box with the ball at his feet, and Bogdan Tîru intervened by sliding. The Lighthouse defender did not touch the ball, but neither did the away team player. Radu Petrescu dictated a penalty from the field, but was then called to VAR by Marcel Bîrsan.
Radu Petrescu overturned the decision on the field, and the players and staff of Farul requested a second yellow for simulation at Sierra, but the referee did not show him the second warning. Instead, Ianis Zicu, the coach of Farul Constanța, was authorized by the “central” for the protests.
