In the 65th minute of the game in Ploiești, at a Petrol corner, Căbuz went wrong on the cross. The ball reached Hanca, who stretched and sent it behind. The ball hit the crossbar and entered the net.
“It's the goalkeeper's fault. Let's not lose sight of the superb finish. But it's Căbuz's goal,” said commentator Cosmin Băleanu, from Prima Sport, in the director.
It was Hanca's first goal in this Superliga season, in match number 20. The midfielder arrived at Ploiesti in 2023 and is in the 3rd season under contract with the “yellow wolves”.
In the 80th match in League 1 for Petrolul, Hanca scored the second goal in the Super League for Ploiești. The former player from Dinamo also scored on Tuesday, in the Romanian Betano Cup, in a 3-1 win against Sănătatea Cluj.
Hanca scored two goals in the last edition of the Cup, thus reaching 5 successes in all competitions for Petrolul, in the two and a half years since he has been in Ploiesti.
