CS Păulești, the first official match after the sports betting scandal » The former League 1 player was an integral player

League 3 is back on the road, and CS Păulești played the first match just one day after the “whirlwind” at the court in Ploiești.

CS Păulești, the first official match after the sports betting scandal

The team from Series 2 of League 3 traveled to Râmnicu Sărat, where they drew 2-2, and are in 4th place, 8 points behind the leader Sporting Liești. Romario Pires (37 years old), former player in League 1 for teams such as Petrolul Ploiești, Farul Constanța or Cluj University, was also on the field.

Here is what Prahoven wrote on the club's official page:

Today we officially started the matches, and our young players played away to Râmnicu Sărat. It was a game with many opportunities, in which you could feel the thrill of those who made their debut in a senior team for the first time.
After going 2-0 down the boys showed character and determination. Until the break we reduced the difference through the young Carlos Zamfir, and in the second half we entered more relaxed and more confident. The equalizer came through Levi Niv, one of four seniors on the field today. With a little attention to finishing we would have gone home with all 3 points at stake.

First 11 and changes:
Paris Darius (2008)
Zamfir Carlos (2008)
