In the 69th minute of the duel in Sibiu, Muțiu, the goalkeeper of the Sibiu team, came out of the goal to reject a ball. The ball was contested by Petrila and Karo, then it reached Grameni. The Rapid midfielder didn't think twice and shot from the first shot. He sent a perfect lob and the ball went into the goal. Grameni scored from over 40 meters, the ball taking a trajectory that made an intervention by the home team's goalkeeper impossible.
Ilie Dumitrescu praised the Rapid player for the inspiration he had when he decided to shoot.
“It is an extraordinary execution. He had a reaction, he informed himself immediately. The biomechanics of hitting the ball are very good. How he saw that the goalkeeper was out… He had shots like that before, even shots, deep passes. That's like a pass. It makes sense“, said Ilie Dumitrescu, according to Digi Sport.

It was the third goal for Grameni in this Super League season, in match number 15. The midfielder from Giulești has 3 goals scored in League 1 for Rapid, all this season. Last season, his first in Giulesti, Grameni did not score at all in 18 games played in the Superliga.
I'm glad I scored. Romanian keyboard supporters have no way of saying that the wind helped me, as they wrote in the training camp. The wind did not blow in Sibiu. I'm glad I signed up. By this process it was more beautiful. He brought calmness to our game. I saw that the ball was coming at a low speed and that I could shoot directly, but also that the goalkeeper had relaxed and I said that I have to try. It was the best time to try the execution.
