Craiova is jubilant, after the result at the National Arena » Message published immediately on Facebook

Rapid needed at least one point to secure top spot at the end of the year, but lost 1-2 against FCSB, who are inching closer to the play-off places.

For at least one night, Rapid will remain first in the Superliga standings, but it can be dethroned on Monday evening, after the Craiova match. On December 22, from 20:00, the Oltenians play at home against Csikszereda, one of the leaders of the ranking.

With three points, the University of Craiova can be the “winter champion”

Rapid currently has 39 points, Craiova 37 and, with a success on Monday night, Olten would reach 40 and surpass Gâlcă's formation.

Officials from the south of the country know this and made a post at midnight, on the club's Facebook page, to let the fans know how important the victory against the newly promoted Harghita is.

“Dear Santa Claus, Super League leaders! Tomorrow's game, the last of 2025, has a fantastic stake: victory in Vulcan is equivalent to the leader's chair. See you at the stadium, united, strong and ready to give everything for the white and blue. Fight, Science!”the residents of Craiova reported, shortly after Rapid lost to FCSB on Sunday evening.

Craiova was in first place in the Superliga between stages 5-11, having a very solid start to the season. Later, against the background of oscillating results, the people from Craiova went down and even reached the fourth position.
