The University of Craiova conceded away to Hermannstadt

Craiova University lost their chance to climb, at least temporarily, to second place in the Romanian Superliga after losing 2-1 to Hermannstadt on Sunday.

At the end of the game, Ivaylo Petev was very disappointed and said that he was taking measures to prevent the team from making any more mistakes.

“We were naive and lost this match. We lost players off the mark and they scored. The draw was fairer, both sides had their moments. We have to see where we went wrong and get the team ready for the next game, that’s all we’re thinking about.

Even if we are missing one, two or three players, we have to come back stronger to solve this situation. I need to watch the game at least one more time and then see what I use. We have to minimize any mistakes to fight for the championship, we have to stop making mistakes.” – said Olten’s coach, Digi Sport reports.
