CFR Cluj won a hard-fought victory on the field of the last ranked team of the Romanian Super League, at the end of the match, in which the hosts wasted their best chances (1-0).
Although it came after a convincing 5-0 win in the Romanian Cup against Dumbravice, the defending champions did not look very good at the Oreshenesk Stadium, where Dan Petrescu’s men did not have many scoring opportunities.
CFR, a hard fought win in Miowen
After a very modest first half for both teams, the hosts missed a very big chance in the second half. Carnath was unable to beat Simon Skuffet at the end of a very successful counter-attack initiated by the hosts.
Finally, a goal for Transylvania came with a few minutes remaining (87th minute) when Chepas Malele headed in a cross from the right.
CFR also claimed a penalty from 11 meters in the 67th minute after a duel between Yeboa and Garutti.
