U Cluj – FCSB 0-2. Mihai Stoica (60 years old), the official of the Romanian champion, reacted on Facebook after the third consecutive success. The red-blues climbed to 7th place, with 19 points, tied with Galati Steelthe team on the last step of the play-off.
A few minutes after the end of the game at “Cluj Arena”, MM Stoica responded on social media to those who contested the dismissal of Alessandro Murgia (29) in the first half when he saw two yellow cards in the space of 3 minutes.
MM Stoica, the first reaction after U Cluj – FCSB 0-2: “Murgia didn't deserve two yellow cards, he deserved three!”
Near the bench area, during a phase spent in the middle of the field, Murgia elbowed Darius Olaru in the back of the head and, even if the blow was not intense, the referee Adrian Cojocaru did not stay for discussions and showed him the second “yellow”.
The people of Cluj protested the decision in vain, as it was not returned from the VAR room, as such a phase could not be analyzed.
Adrian Cojocaru had given him the first yellow card in the 36th minute, due to an inappropriate gesture.
“It is unreal how some want to mislead the world by trying to question Murgia's removal. It's true that he didn't deserve two yellow cards. It deserves three.
-
1. Foul from behind by Bîrligea. Yellow
-
2. Unsportsmanlike gesture, punch the ball. Yellow.
-
3. Big strike with the forearm, clear intention to hit the opponent. Yellow”, wrote Mihai Stoica, on his personal Facebook account.
For FCSB, the away duel with Basel, from the main group of the Europa League, follows on November 6. In the championship, he will travel to Hermannstadt's field, 3 days later.
