The third consecutive win without a goal for Farul Constanța in the Super League, 2-0 against FC Botoșani, was duly celebrated by the blue and white team, who sang with the fans at the end of the meeting with the Super League leader.
However, the Constanta gallery did not forget the war with the local authorities, due to the delay in the start of work on the new stadium in the city and he harshly attacked the Mayor of Constanța, Vergil Chițac. Instead, the supporters sent an emotional message in memory of Emeric Ienei, the former great coach who passed away yesterday. Five things that were not seen on TV in the Ovidiu match.
1. The hosts' gallery duly honored the moment of silence in memory of the former great coach Emeric Iena. “Legendary like an ancient knight / Nea Imi, a gentleman of romantic football!”, the fans said through the banner displayed on the lawn. The Ultras then sang throughout the match and some of them braved the cold weather of around 10 degrees Celsius and the rain by stripping down to their bare chests in the first half.
2. In the moments leading up to the penalty kick from which Farul scored the second goal, the hosts tried to put pressure on Istvan Kovacs. The youngest player of the blue-and-whites, Eduard Radaslavescu, stood behind the center, who was watching the restart of the phase, and made wide hand signs, suggesting that the decision was clear. He then called for his teammates to come closer, but this did not happen again, as Istvan Kovacs quickly made the decision. Only then, the referee from Carei noticed the 21-year-old midfielder, whom he admonished for his gestures.

3. Captain Ionuț Larie kept his word and executed the penalty kick, as he had announced at the press conference, scoring his third goal of the current season, all from the penalty spot. The captain of the Lighthouse had missed the last time when he was at the penalty spot, in the last minute of the match with Unirea Slobozia, from the 11th stage, which ended in a tie, 1-1.
In the previous round, the blue and whites were awarded a penalty kick, but the 38-year-old defender decided to let a team-mate convert. “Initially, I wanted to leave Vînă, but he had already scored, so he knocked Isfan. We had a two-goal advantage, but in the future, if the score is closer, I will take responsibility for myself.” explained Larie before the game with the Moldovans.
4. The coach of the guests, Leo Grozavu, preferred to stay longer on the bench, sheltered from the rain, leaving him to give instructions to the second Nicolae Roșca, former coach at the Hagi Academy. The technician was more active only after the break, when he went out to the edge of the field, arguing with his defenders. At the end, he got into a conflict with the spectators behind the reserve bench, with whom he had a short exchange of lines.
5. Galeria Farului once again asked to speed up the construction of the new stadium in Constanța, continuing the war with the authorities. This time, the one targeted was the Mayor of Constanța, Vergil Chițac. “Mayor, you are a mess!” and “We're away” were two of the lighter chants in the repertoire.
