Dorin Iancu shuts the door
Defensive actions: 23, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Dragos Man 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 Pandurii this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Daniel Iancu in the eights
A performance of 8.87 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Pandurii find a way past Voluntari
Voluntari made Pandurii work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

No hiding place for Daniel Stanciu
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Daniel Stanciu, and the manager let it.

Daniel Maxim out for 27 days

Nobody could get near Claudiu Ratiu
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Marius Deac stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Marius Deac and Pandurii agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Nothing got past Ionut Nedelcearu
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 16 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.
In brief
- Market The Daniel Stanciu question follows Pandurii around
- Market Pandurii borrow Octavian Popescu
- Market Pandurii bring in Mihai Man on loan
