The “central” Andrei Moroiță was alerted from the Lime Chamber to return to the decision and eliminated the CFR footballer.

Immediately after the match, Ilie Dumitrescu criticized the Kosovar in Dan Petrescu's lot, which he said was eliminated, despite the fact that the technician declared dissatisfied with the decision taken by the arbitrator.
“I looked closely. If you turn the outside, as he did, you can't go with the sole then. He went.
You can pull your foot after hitting the ball. Is intention. After you hit the ball, you can't go with the sole. I was an attacker. Pull your foot or somehow. You are not allowed to do this. It's clear red, ”said Ilie Dumitrescu, quoted by Digisport.ro.
I want to congratulate my team. He made an extraordinary match. I am dissatisfied only by the first minute, when I took an empty. Otherwise, they played excellent. I am sorry that the referee broke the match and gave a red to such a match, when the boy wanted to give empty and may be wrong. And in 10 against 11 I played very well.
We deserved Victoria hundreds percent, but this is football sometimes. At the break, I told them that, apart from the first phase, they played excellent. I would have wanted a victory, and so on.
