Newly called up to the national team by Mircea Lucescu (80 years old), as an emergency substitute for Mihai Popa (25 years old), Cătălin Căbuz (29 years old) was the author of an incredible own goal in the match FC Argeș lost at home against U Cluj, score 0-1.
Brought this winter to FC Argeș from Hermannstadt, in exchange for David Lazar, Cătălin Căbuz kept the goal intact in the last 4 Superliga matches, but made a decisive mistake in the home match against U Cluj.

In the 82nd minute of the match played in Mioveni, in an attempt to control the possession, Florin Borța passed “home” to Cătălin Căbuz, but the goalkeeper of Argeș was the author of an incredible blunder.

Florin Borța also has an important fault. He sent the ball over the goal frame, which is totally not recommended.
