The Pitesti supporters displayed a suggestive banner in the stadium, with reference to what happened in the 27th stage. The Pitesti are still in their hands to qualify for the play-offs, but they have not passed that moment.
The supporters lost their patience and displayed a banner with the following message: “Alone against all. All for Argeș!”. This could be seen at tribune 1 of the “Orăsenesc” stadium in Mioveni.
“Respect us / Alone against everyone! All for Argeș / Dani Coman, voice for Romanian football”, were the banners displayed by the newly promoted fans.

FC Argeș is currently in 6th place, with 43 points. In the case of a victory with the lighthouse, the team prepared by Bogdan Andone takes an extremely serious option for qualifying in the Top 6. FC Botoșani, UTA Arad and FCSB are the teams involved in this race.
GSP.ro found out that Radu Petrescu received a 12-stage suspension following the error in the game in stage #27 of the Superliga. Vassaras will not publicly announce the penalty, but the head of referees has already called the referee to report and handed him the penalty.
Dani Coman, the president of Pitesti, also received a fine after he had a very harsh speech to the “central” at the end of the game on “Ilie Oană”. The “purple eagles” official has to pay 4,000 lei.
Kyros Vassaras explained the double mistake of Radu Petrescu from Petrolul – FC Argeș
“The defender is doing nothing wrong. There is no contact caused by Petrolul Ploiești's number 5 and the referee, without being sure, erroneously awards a free kick.
Following this kick, the referee makes another wrong decision, stopping the game again immediately after the whistle, without committing an offence, but some time before the ball is sent into the goal. Regardless of the pressure in the match, under no circumstances can the referee correct a wrong decision with another wrong decision.
If a referee realizes that he has made a wrong decision, specifically after stopping the game for a reason not provided for in the Laws of the Game, in this case stopping the game for a non-existent foul, he can restart the game with a referee's ball. The ball is awarded to the team that touched it last, at the place where the incident took place,” Vassaras said, according to frf.ro.
