The dialogue from the GSP Live Special began with the cut of the penalty phase from the end. Looking to clear the ball, Aioani came out of the goal and punched Etim in the head after the Nigerian had headed back. From the resulting penalty, Nsimba closed the table at 2-2.

“There are no doubts about the penalty. It was an inopportune exit [a lui Aioani]. He didn't calculate well, he hit his opponent, he didn't hit the ball. There are no other things to comment on”said Porumboiu.

Adrian Porumboiu, after Craiova – Rapid: “Matei and Băsceanu are two talents. They shone a lot!”

Next, the former boss from Vaslui declared himself impressed by the “unders” of Craiova, midfielder David Matei and winger Luca Băsceanu.

“I watched two good teams and, in my opinion, the best players. I liked the midfielder of Craiova, Matei, then Blasceanu, Băsceanu, what's his name. Two talents, two players who shone a lot, they were brighter than the players with old states and big contracts.

Băsceanu has some breaks in rhythm that almost fracture you at the spine. He felt it when he entered. Cloth cloth!

I liked Craiova in the first half, it was way over. In the first 20-30 minutes I thought it would be slaughter, but Rapid is well on the field, it is a well-placed team. Craiova started playing when it came out of the system with 3 central defenders. That is an old fashioned game. When he switched to 4 defenders, a kind of 4-4-2, something else was seen”, continued the former referee.
