The president of Oțel raged after the failure with U Cluj: “It was clear”

Munteanu believes that the goal scored by Patrick for Oțelul in the first half should have been validated. The striker's goal was disallowed for offside after VAR analysis. Then, the official of the Galaţi team said that, in his opinion, the 2-1 goal scored by U was not scored from a legal position.

Cristian Munteanu: “I think Patrick's goal was valid”

“It was an atypical match, I have a dose of subjectivity. The first goal, by Patrick, I think was valid and, if you take the pictures, the goalkeeper makes a decision being 4-5 meters away from the line.

I don't know how he saw it, because he immediately raised offside”, said Cristian Munteanu, quoted by iamsport.ro.

Cristian Munteanu: “Offside on the 2nd goal scored by U Cluj”

Then, the president from Oțelul analyzed the phase of the 2nd goal scored by Lukic. He asked the U Cluj striker for offside, who scored from Postolachi's pass. The phase was analyzed for 9 minutes in the VAR room, as happened with Oțelului's goal.

“I think the Cluj goal was debatable (no success of 2-1). It stayed until the players got cold because they needed to warm up before starting. I am angry, clearly a valid goal for Patrick and offside for Cluj's 2nd goal”. Cristian Munteanu also declared.

It was a balanced match, an even match, it was a tightly closed match, two good teams and Otelul and Cluj. Cluj, with the new coach, with players who wanted to prove to the new coach, we are an equally good team.

But a team that was coming after a good result in Arad and that was on the wave so to speak. It was a balanced game that should have ended in a draw, you couldn't tell who was the favorite from the way it played out
