Rapid beat FC Cluj 2:1, but the game was not without scandal. Center Catalin Popa dictated two shots from 11 meters for Giulesti and they were challenged by all less than a breath of fresh air.

In Digisport, the former great referee Ion Crecunescu clarified that Rapid received two kicks from 11 meters by mistake, being able to talk without problems about the wrong result in the derby of the sixteenth stage of the Super League.

Here you can see a summary of the game Rapid – CFR Cluj.

The incriminated phases of Rapid vs. CFR Cluj

• In the 32nd minute, the goalkeeper Skuffet comes out from between the stumps, gets to the ball late and sharply hits the home team’s forward Lukassen. Earlier, defender Yuriy released the ball from the CFR penalty area.

• In the 69th minute, a duel for the ball between Marko Dugandzic and Andrii Burke took place in the penalty area of ​​the Central Ukrainian Football Association. The Rapida forward fell to the ground, and the center Katalin Popa again dictated the penalty to the home team. In addition, Ovidiu Hatcegan (head of the evening in the VAR room) did not intervene.

What Ion Krecunescu says

“Yes, to put it this way, there is indeed a push between Lucassen and the player in white (not Yuri). He walks right into it and pushes it.

A penalty is awarded against the player who committed the foul first. The first is a player in cherry (not a speedster) who walks with his hands behind his opponent. Shoulder to shoulder means something completely different.

This means that the two players are in equal positions, where the shoulder is at the same level as the shoulder of the opponent. Scaffet’s penalty, in my opinion… looks like a brutal tackle on the opponent without playing the ball. It can also be a red card” – Ion Creciunescu, on Digisport.

“I would never give a penalty for something like that! I think there are two players in contact, but it doesn’t seem obvious to me. Things should be clear in the penalty shootout. I never gave” – Ion Creciunescuon Digisport.
