After Sepsi initially won the CU FC U Craiova 1948 match on the green table due to xenophobic chants from Olten fans, the Appeals Committee decided on Thursday that the match should be replayed.

Adrian Mititelu is satisfied with the decision of the appeal commission – Message for the referee Andrii Chivulete

Following the ruling by the Romanian Football Federation’s appeals commission, Sepsi dropped to 7th place in the Super League, one point behind the team coached by Nicolo Napoli.

Kovasnen will have a hell of a match against FCSB, while Olten will face Hermannstadt.

The match between Sepsi and Kraiova 1948 will be played again on March 16 from the 1st minute, although it was interrupted in the 26th minute.

Adrian Mititelu, the financier of the Oltese formation, spoke about the decision of the appeal committee, but he also had a message for the referee Andrii Chivulete.

“It’s the right decision, because the referee should not have stopped the match. I was waiting for this decision, like a criminal sentence, with excitement. Today I felt I was going to have a positive day.

I think Sepsinci are also happy with the relegation, because they would not want to go to the playoffs with a win behind the green table and be classified as Viitorul Scornicești or Flacăra Moreni.

We are now a point ahead of Sepsi, but anything is possible in the last matches. We are not playoff favorites.

We have to beat Sibiu and if the advantage is that a draw with Sepsi will also help us if they finish with the same number of points. In the round, we beat them 1:0. We understand that anything is possible in the last two games.

After the match with “Hermannstadt” we stay in Sibiu and go straight to Sfantu Gheorghe. Then I hope to play in the first stage of the playoffs with Farul.

If not, we play Mioveni in the first round of the play-offs.” Adrian Mititelu said, according to GSP.

Adrian Mititelu did not forget the center, who made the decision to stop the game with Sfantu Gheorghe for good.

“We have to show that we deserve to go to the playoffs. I’m glad people understand that this Board of Appeal matters.

The first court made a serious mistake and I hope that Mr. Chivulete will learn the necessary lessons, stop rushing, let’s stop being more Catholic than the Pope.

I think that Sfantu Gheorghe will welcome us with bread and salt, the Romanian-Hungarian brotherhood must confirm its tradition. They are our brothers for so many years.

We also have Hungarian supporters. I’m sure sepsis people are happy too, because they get rid of the hassle.” – summed up the financier of the Olten people.
