FC Voluntari defeats FC Bihor and climbs to the direct promotion spot. Match overshadowed by Alexandru Gîț's SERIOUS injury

The success brings the Ilfovens a huge three points in the fight for promotion, climbing into the direct promotion spot.

Tense first half at FC Voluntari – FC Bihor, with a serious refereeing error

The game started with a lot of intensity and two phases that caused controversy. The visitors sent the ball into the goal after a corner, but the goal was disallowed when the assistant referee signaled that the ball had gone out of bounds. The replays did not clarify the phase.

Shortly after, FC Voluntari asked for the elimination of the opposing goalkeeper, Edgar Cadar, after a harsh intervention on Matko Babic, but the referee let the game continue, much to the displeasure of the hosts. The replays showed that the Bihoren goalkeeper does not touch the ball, goes with his sole on the opponent's leg and should have been sent off!

On a water-soaked pitch, the game was fragmented, but opportunities were not lacking, with both teams having good offensive moments.

The second half was overshadowed by Alexandru Gîț's serious injury

After the break, FC Voluntari opened the scoring through Mihai Roman, who took advantage of a set-piece and pushed the ball into the nearby net. Bihor's reply came quickly, FC Bihor restoring the tie through Bogdan Vătăjelu, after a wrong rejection in the home team's defense.

Ilfoven scored once more, but the goal was canceled for offside, and the match seemed to be heading for a draw. However, the ending was a dramatic one. In the 86th minute, FC Voluntari struck after a corner executed in the box, and the defender Crisan completed it successfully, bringing victory to his team.

However, the game was overshadowed by a moment that happened in the 90th minute. Răzvan Gunie, coming on, had an intervention on Alexandru Gîț, the Ilfoven defender, who remained lying on the lawn, complaining of great pain. The first diagnosis is a double fracture, of the tibia and fibula.

Spirits immediately heated up, and FC Voluntari players pounced on Gunie as the ambulance trudged along the water-soaked turf, pushed by players from both teams.

After about 10 minutes of medical interventions and tension on the field, the ambulance managed to leave the Voluntari stadium with the injured player. At the restart, the game lasted just over two minutes with no further events of note.
