Match

CSM Slatina let it slip despite Iustin Doicaru

Iustin Doicaru had done his part in building a 3-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Sepsi OSK were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings

Iustin Doicaru scores twice — 9.34

Two goals and a mark of 9.34 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Borisav Burmaz

20 goals and a season average of 7.45 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

The dugout

Abel Stan says CSM Slatina went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets

Balázs Ulviczki due for a CSM Slatina medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Borisav Burmaz at his very best

Marked 9.14. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at CSM Slatina.

The terraces

One of their own: Iustin Doicaru

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad

A row about effort at CSM Slatina

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Vlad Prejmerean was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom

Wages eat 124% of everything CSM Slatina earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

120 days out for Ionuţ Năstăsie after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. CSM Slatina will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Florin Ştefan in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at CSM Slatina this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Kacper Jureczko arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Kacper Jureczko has, at CSM Slatina, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Player ratings

Marius Lupu was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

A row about effort at CSM Slatina

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Szilárd Magyari was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings

Rodrigo Hernando stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.48 on the card, and the CSM Slatina support went home talking about one name.

Market

A long bet from CSM Slatina on Kacper Jureczko

He is 19, and nobody at CSM Slatina signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The dugout

CSM Slatina keep their word to Faris Dževahirić

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Match

CSM Slatina and Concordia Chiajna take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

In brief
