At the end, the coach of the Sibiu team, Marius Măldărășanu (50 years old), analyzed the game and recognized his own team's mistakes.
“In the first few minutes we played a lot with Căbuz instead of playing in front and their goal was in the first action. Jair should have doubled Kevin better and maybe the penalty would not have come out.”
The technician also commented on the controversial phase from which Metaloglobus could score again: “Oroian passes to Stancu and that simulation comes out. My heart was like a flea on the bench. Good thing it's over…”
The coach of the guests, reconciled after this result: “Two teams in pain, a fair result”
Măldărășanu explained that his team tries to play football, but the pressure of the place in the ranking speaks for itself:
“We could have won, but it's a fair result, two teams in pain. 1-1 deserved. We have good moments, but I'm trying to be more pragmatic, no mistakes in our third. The pressure of the place wears you down. One positive thing is that we have two games in a row without defeat.”
On the controversial phase at Nana Antwi: “In many matches he doesn't fall. I think it was a penalty”
The key moment of the match for Hermannstadt was the phase when Nana Antwi called for a penalty and the referee let the game continue.
“From the bench I asked for a penalty. Nana is a player who doesn't fall easily. He doesn't fall from old age, as they say. After watching the phase again, I think it's a penalty. The referee judged quickly, but overall the brigade had a good match.”
After this result, Metaloglobus remains the “red lantern” of the Superliga with 8 points in 17 matches, while Hermannstadt occupies the next position, 15th place, with 12 points after as many rounds.
