GSP notes at CFR Cluj

With no goals, Cordea being left on the bench, and Lukic being injured during the warm-up, the match started balanced, but quite quickly the hosts started to take control of the game. It was a game with rhythm and intensity, but without phases, opportunities or even executions in the goal area.

Cordea decided the match in the 70th minute, from a penalty awarded to Szabolcs Kovacs at Mikanovic's henchman.

So CFR prevailed to the limit, in an ugly football derby, but which brings it only two points behind U Cluj and Craiova University. And Pancu's team re-enters the calculations for the title. Here's how the players evolved!

The notes from CFR Cluj

• M. Popa – 6. No problems

• Braun – 6. Very good, dangerous and offensive

• Synian – 6. No hesitation

• Huja – 6. In his department colleague's note

• Camora – 7. The old captain was everywhere and also caused the penalty

• Fly -6. Good defensively, but a bit reckless, he narrowly missed elimination

• Keita – 6. Sure defensively, less so in attack

• Korenica – 5. Started well, but faded along the way

• Peacock – 6. The hosts' most dangerous man in the first half

• Biliboc 5. Waste of energy, few achievements

• Aliev – 5. Good only as a pivot, otherwise deleted

• Djokovic (80)- played the part a little

• M. Ilie (87) – played too little

The grades from U Cluj

• Gertmonas – 7. Probably the best goalkeeper in the Superliga

• I. Cristea – 6. No problems, good at sacrifice

• Coubiș – 6. Solid defensively, with offensive input, especially at the end

• Chipciu – 6. Sure, but less inspired in the offensive phase

• Nistor (56) – 5. Couldn't revive the offensive game

• Stanojev (58) – 4. Far from expectations

• Fabry (79) played too little
