Rapid – Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe 3-0, 22nd stage of the Super League

Mutu’s pupils decided the match in the first 20 minutes. Dugandzic opened the score in the 5th minute with a pass from Kait, and in the 13th minute he increased it with a header after a corner kick by Aleksandra Ionice.

After just five minutes, Dimitrov plays with his hand in the penalty area, and referee Horaciu Fesnich dictates a shot from 11 meters using VAR technology. The same Dugandzic performs, and the fast players led 3:0 in the 19th minute.

The three substitutions made at halftime by the coach of the guests, Cristiano Bergodi, did not help the team to spoil the result, Rapid defended well and tried to counterattack dangerously in the second half.
