Alberto Soro and Assad Al-Hamlawi scored the goals of the match, in a match in which the first half was devoid of important opportunities, and in the second half the two teams pushed more on the offensive.

Baiaram spoke about the incident at the end of the game. On the way to the tunnel, the Craiova footballer was cursed by the fans in the VIP area, where Istvan Kovacs was also hit by an object, and it stopped in front of them. After a short exchange of words, the Olten player spat at a supporter, then left the area.
“I was offended by the second stand. These are the Dynamo fans, they offended me badly, unpleasantly, especially since I am Romanian and I play for the national team. I went to the tunnel, and a supporter spat at me. He had nothing to look for there. You can see on the pictures that I was spat on, but I shouldn't have made that gesture.”

“This tie is not good for us. We wanted the three points, we looked better, we had more chances, but probably we couldn't do more and we didn't win. We annihilated each other, we analyzed each other well and it was not won. There is pressure in every match, especially since everyone is fighting in the championship. We hope to win with FCSB.
We, in the title, fight with ourselves. We have the best team, the best lot. I had a shot on goal. We showed that we are the best.”
Craiova University will play twice in three days against the Romanian champions, FCSB, first in the Romanian Cup, then in the Super League.
“It will be a derby with FCSB, we hope to win. We have no revenge to take, we want to move on. From what I understand, Mr. Lucescu will stay. It feels better and we hope to perform. I communicated with the technical staff, everyone knew that Mr. Lucescu would stay and I wish him good health”, declared Baiaram at the mixed area.
I think I deserved more, the pressure builds up a bit. We came with the idea of winning this match, from the first to the last minute we gave everything to win. We don't feel the pressure very much, we stayed after this stage, even if we wanted to win. We take each match individually, now comes the Cup match and we are happy that we showed as a team.
I think so, it is perhaps the most balanced championship in the last many years. It is too early to talk if this will be the final of the championship, there are 4 more games until the end of the regular season, and in the play-off it will be the most important.
It is a very important week, I don't know if there have been two matches with FCSB and Dinamo in one week before.
At the same time we are happy, there are good matches, home matches are coming, we are waiting for the audience and we have to win. Probably whoever will look better will qualify for the play-offs.– also declared Alex Cicâldău
