CFR Cluj won the points, but some of Pancu's students remained “correct”. The man who got the highest score was Adrian Păun, the player who brought the points. Defender Sinyan got the second highest mark. They disappointed Matos (FC Argeș), Cordea and Biliboc (both from CFR). None got a passing grade.
The notes of those from FC Argeș
Cable Car – 5 » Sure until the phase from which Paun beat him with a shot he could have done more
Oancea – 5 » He did not manage to bring a plus in the opposing half
Tudose – 6 » Almost flawless defensively, until the duel with Zahovic
