GSP grades at Rapid – CFR Cluj » Two Giulești players were disastrous: who did not receive a passing grade from the Transylvanian camp

Rapid and CFR Cluj offered a match with rhythm, nerve and hot phases, the match having all the characteristics of a play-off dispute. Who stepped up, who disappointed, and who kept the team alive through the tough times? We analyze the performances of all the players and give the marks after the game in Giulesti.

How the people from Giulești scored in the “railway derby”:

• Marian Aioani – grade 6 » He was booed and whistled since the warm-up, after he left the pitch injured in the 3rd minute in the derby with Dinamo, the fans accusing him of “sabotaging” the team. He can't be faulted for goals, he also had some good interventions.

• Răzvan Onea (captain) – grade 6 » Mostly safe, no problems. He can be criticized for not delivering any useful crosses for the attacking players.

• Alexandru Pașcanu – grade 6 » In the 9th minute, he scored the first opportunity for Giulești, with a header. Two minutes away, he made an excellent goal-line save from Luka Zahovic's attempt.

• Lars Kramer – grade 6 » No problems.

• Andrei Borza – grade 4 » On the wrong foot of Huja's diagonal for Braun, who decisively assisted Zahovic. Too little for a side defender who wants to be a national player or an export product for the strong championships in Western Europe. Realizing the proportions of the disaster in his lane, Gâlcă changed him at halftime.

• Dina Grameni – grade 5 » Weak, out of shape. He has completed 14 of 24 passes, provided just 4 passes in the final third and has a 42% duel win percentage. Also changed at half-time.

• Tobias Christensen – grade 7 » From the fall, under pressure from Muhar, he slipped and made a handball in the box, after which a penalty was awarded, later converted by Cordea. He wasted a great chance at the beginning of the second half, then he passed decisively on Moruțan's goal. Big chances in the account in the second half, maybe Rapid's best man, despite the penalty committed.

• Kader Keita – grade 6 » Changed at half-time by Gâlca. Safe in midfield, 20 of 21 accurate passes and 3 passes recovered. Certainly not the weak link in the central axis.

• Alexandru Dobre – grade 4 » “The Phantom” near Opera Comica. In places, comic too.

• Daniel Paraschiv – grade 6 » Beating, he recovered the ball in the phase preceding Moruțan's success.

• Talisson – note 4 » Substitute for Claudiu Petrila, injured with Dinamo, in the left lane of the Giulești offensive. He clearly lost the duel with Braun, got injured at the end of the first half and was taken off the field.

• Costel Gâlcă (coach) – grade 4 » Clearly outmatched, even if the three changes at half-time had a positive effect on the game.

Along the way they entered:

• Olimpiu Moruțan ('44) – grade 7 » He scored the first goal in the Giulești shirt, in the 58th minute, having to fulfill a simple formality.

• Robert Sălceanu ('46) – grade 6 » He didn't have the same problems that Borza had.

• Drilon Hazrollaj ('46) – grade 5 » Important opportunity in the 84th minute, his header being rejected by Mihai Popa in extremis.

• Denis Ciobotariu ('46) – grade 5 » It was not seen in the game.

• Borizav Burmaz ('67) – grade 5 » Acclaimed upon his return to Giulesti, he could not reward the supporters with any offensive achievements.

The qualifications of the Transylvanians for the duel in Giulesti:

• Mihai Popa – grade 8 » Several excellent interventions in the second half. For example, Hazrollaj's header in the 84th minute, Christensen's “torpedo” in the 88th minute or the same Hazrollaj's shot from the edge of the box in the 90th minute.

• Camora (captain) – grade 6 » In the usual note.

• Marian Huja – grade 8 » Real “rock” in Daniel Pancu's defense. He orchestrated the phase of Zahovic's goal as he launched a sensational diagonal for Braun.

• Sheriff Sinyan – grade 4 » He put Moruțan's goal on the tray. It was unnecessarily complicated in the center of the field, Paraschiv recovered, he passed to Christensen, who passed decisively for number 80 of Giulești.

• Christopher Braun – grade 8 » Totally annihilated Tallison and passed decisively to Zahovic's success. Defensively safe.

• Karlo Muhar – grade 6 » He forced Christensen's handball, after which a kick from 11 meters was awarded. Otherwise, in the usual note.

• Tidiane Keita – grade 6 » Seamless, without standing out.

• Andrei Cordea – grade 7 » He emotionlessly converted the penalty in the 35th minute. Active, he could close the match with the chance in the 80th minute.

• Meriton Korenica – grade 7 » Extremely active in the beginning of the match, he created danger at Aioani's goal in the first quarter of an hour.

• Lorenzo Biliboc – grade 6 » No achievements.

• Luka Zahovic – grade 8 » Great opportunity in the 11th minute, with a header. Aggressive, keeps the ball well in the opposition half. If necessary, it also goes down to the middle area. This Slovenian striker, transferred by CFR Cluj in the winter, is very versatile and interesting. In the 18th minute, he scored the first goal in the Super League, having to fulfill a simple formality.

• Daniel Pancu (coach) – grade 7 » He speculated excellently on the shortcomings of the Rapid.

Along the way they entered:

• Andres Șfaiț ('65) – grade 6 » No achievements.

• Alibek Aliev ('65) – grade 6 » He orchestrated Cordea's opportunity in the 80th minute.

• Adrian Paun ('81) – played too little to be noted.

• Damian Djokovic ('81) – played too little to be noted.

• Matei Ilia ('90) – played too little to be noted.

The performance of the referees, under the “magnifying glass”:

• Florin Andrei (referee) – grade 6 » No problems.

• George Neacșu (assistant 1) – grade 8 » He excellently saw the hench committed by Christensen and signaled this to Florin Andrei. From the VAR room, the decision was confirmed: penalty.

• Alexandru Vodă (assistant 2) – grade 6

• Adrian Cojocaru (VAR referee) and Ovidiu Artene (VAR assistant) – grade 6
