Hermannstadt had won the first leg, played at home, with a score of 3-2, but in the second leg in Ilfov, they lost decisively, 0-3, a result that sent the Sibiu team to League 2.

• The goalkeeper also wore the shirts of Voința Sibiu, Pandurii Târgu Jiu, FC Botoșani, Vejle, Astra Giurgiu, Universitatea Craiova, Gloria Buzău and FC Argeș.
