Unbelievable moments today, in League 2in the duel between the penultimate ranked Muscelul Câmpulung and FC Voluntari, the match ended with the victory of the guests, 2-0 (goals by Babic and Ianis Vencu). Florian Haită, the 25-year-old midfielder of Ilfoveni, raised in the Hagi Academy, formerly at Farul, U Cluj and FC Argeș, suffered an extremely bad injury to his knee, a cut caused, say the guests, by an iron object near the lawn.
FC Voluntari, a club with aspirations of promotion, achieved, in the last minutes of the meeting, an important victory on the pitch of the camp in Câmpulung, but the game did not end well for one of Florin Pîrvu's players.
Florian Haită, the footballer of the guests, chose with a scary cut in the knee area, after, following a trivial duel for the ball, his sliding attempt ended badly. The midfielder “slid” off the pitch, where he collided with a sharp object that caused a hard-to-see wound right next to his kneecap.

“I slipped and kicked an iron culvert, that's how I cut myself”
Out of danger, after being stitched up by doctors, the footballer published an eloquent message on social networks, along with a horror photo.
“You have to be careful not to fall directly from the field onto the beasts,” was Haita's “dry” comment.
Contacted by Gazetă, Florian Haită narrated the film of the event: “There was a phase in touch, I followed the ball, I saw the opponent slipping and I wanted to jump over him to avoid him and get a corner. On landing, I slipped and kicked an iron culvert lip and cut myself.”
The football player was stitched up, disinfected, and now he was advised to keep his leg immobilized.
The reaction of the host club: “What channel? It hit the sand”
Contacted by Gazeta Sporturilor, Costin Ghiță, the president of Musceleni, rejected the version according to which the Voluntari player cut himself in an “iron trap”.
“It happened off the field. When it went into the slide, there was still some sand there… What canal mouth? It was a slip, he cut himself, but he's fine”, said Ghiță, in a dialogue with the GSP reporter.
For the second consecutive season on the first stage, the group from Argeș plays on its own ground at the “Muscelul” stadium, an old-fashioned arena, which had to undergo serious modernization in the summer of 2024 in order to be approved for League 2.
Often, the pitch is in terrible conditions, as was the case in the spring match with Reșita, when the guests complained about the condition of the pitch full of holes, waterlogged and uneven.
