Luis Felipe, teammate marked by Florinel Coman in FCSB’s win

FCSB had an exceptional performance and are in their best form ahead of the Rapid derby since the last leg of the regular season.

The Super League leader moved 13 points ahead of Rapid ahead of the head-to-head clash thanks to a 1-0 win against Petrol.

Despite the fact that the only goal in the game was actually an own goal, Florinel Coman emphasized that Luis Felipe was very important to the team and that his presence on the pitch was a plus.

“Another 3 points, we wanted them. We knew a lot of fans would come, we did a very good job this season and meant to bring as many people as possible to the stadium. A good goalkeeper (not Zima) cleared this ball. It was necessary to knock a little harder.

There was some fatigue, but I’m happy because the team showed character, determination, and now we’re going very well again at halftime and we’ll score right away. We need a break. I’m happy for Luis Felipe that he scored, he played a very good game and got us out, we need all the players.” – said Florinel Coman, reports Digi Sport.
