Adel Bettaieb (29) opened the scoring in the 38th minute. The Tunisian was present at the flash-interview and was having a dialogue with the reporter, at which point a nervous Dani Coman intervened and started shouting at the journalist when he heard the question about the controversial phase.
“Stop asking! What do you want, suspend him too? Let it go!“, “thundered” Coman, who also took his own player: “Let him go to the locker room! Isn't it normal for me to be nervous when they make fun of their work?
What should we tell them in the dressing room, that Radu Petrescu made fun of them? You go and talk to him! You ask him,” Coman shouted, according to footage provided by Digi Sport.
Immediately after this event, Bettaieb left the area and did not make statements about what happened in Ploiesti.
In the 86th minute, the referee Radu Petrescu canceled the goal scored by Sierra, after a free-kick cross by Micovschi, given that, in the previous phase, he had given a foul in the duel between Dongmo and Oancea.
Immediately after Micovschi hit the ball, Petrescu whistled, and no one understood the decision, not even if his attention was drawn from the VAR room.
