GSP grades according to Craiova University – FC Argeș
University of Craiova:
-
Laurentiu Popescu – 6: He didn't have much to do. He is not guilty of the goal, and after that FC Argeș had no other opportunities.
-
Oleksandr Romanchuk – 5: He stayed away from Bettaieb in goal and had a few lost duels. One of the weak links in the defense.
-
Adrian Rus – 6: Among Craiova's three defenders, he was the safest, even if he was changed after an hour. He did well in duels with opponents and did not make mistakes.
-
Vladimir Screciu – 5: He played simply, without mistakes.
-
Carlos Mora – 5: Erased in evolution without accomplishing anything notable. He gave a good cross for Cicâldău, who scored, but was offside.
-
Alexandru Crețu – 5: The strong midfielder of the Oltenians agitated and got involved in many duels in the middle, but without much success.
-
Alexandru Cicâldau – 5: Out of ideas. He did not find the passes necessary to break through the dams of Pitesti. He scored a goal, disallowed for offside.
-
Nicușor Bancu – 6: He ran a lot in the attack, tried to bring balls into the box of FC Argeș, but without success.
-
David Beard – 5: He was substituted at half-time after a half-time shutout. Very little involved in Olten's offensive game.
-
Assad Al Hamlawi – 6: Although he only had the first half at his disposal, the striker from Olten did not move badly. He struggled in attack, he had two chances (once he didn't reach a cross, once he fought from 5 meters). The big problem: He didn't have enough useful balls.
-
Stefan Baiaram – 4: He struggled, had some actions in the lane, but without any success. He showed too little for what is expected of him.
-
Luca Basceanu – 5: No achievements. He did not bring an addition to David Barbu, whom he changed.
-
Steven Nsimba – 5: The Olten fans put their hopes in him when they saw him enter the break. But he was annihilated by the Pitesti people. He could score in overtime, but was blocked by Căbuz.
-
Monday Time – 5: Deleted in the second half. He did not bring vitality to the attack.
-
Samuel Teles – 5: Lacking ideas, stuck like the rest of his colleagues.
-
Lyes Houri – Played too little to be rated.
-
Coach: Filipe Coelho – 5: Lost, without ideas. Being in the stands, the Portuguese technician did not come up with anything new during the match. With the changes made, he was unable to unlock the defense of Pitesti.
FC Arges:
-
Cătălin Cabuz – 7: He had many good interventions, one even in overtime. He gave security to the team.
-
Dorinel Oancea – 6: He made a lot of effort, but without much success. He also received a yellow card, being the weak link in the defense

Mario Tudos – 7: Safe on him, strong in duels. He managed well the attacks of Craiova and the duels with the attackers of Olten.
-
Leard Sadriu – 7: It complemented very well with Tudose. He didn't make a mistake, he held the defense well.

-

-
Ionuț Rădescu – 7: He made a lot of effort. He stepped up whenever he had the opportunity, created phases and often found excellent passes for those in front.

Ricardo Matos – 6: Struggled in attack but lacked inspiration. He could have had a great chance, but he mishandled it in the box.
-
Adel Bettaieb – 8: He scored the decisive goal. And what a gap! He was a constant danger for the Olten foundations, always involved in the game and with a passion for football.

- Marius Badea -7: No mistake, but also no complicated phases.
- Raul Ghiciulescu – 8: He saw the offside excellently on the goal scored by Cicâldău. He quickly raised the flag and the VAR proved that the decision was the right one
