From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

A fracture rules Dylan Batubinsika out for 95 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason FCSB will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Juri Cisotti scores twice — 8.60

Two goals and a mark of 8.60 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

A falling-out at FCSB

Juri Cisotti and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Juri Cisotti sends FCSB past Viitorul

It finished 2‑1, and it was Juri Cisotti’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to FCSB.

Looking ahead

FCSB and CFR Cluj meet at the summit

The fixture the rest of the division is looking forward to more than either of the sides in it. Both know a win changes the season and a defeat does not end it, which is what makes it hard to play.

Player ratings

Denis Drăguş was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.03. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout

Siyabonga Ngezana gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

The half-term report on FCSB

Position 1, 24 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Player ratings

A costly moment from Siyabonga Ngezana

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at FCSB, and it is a cruel one.

In brief
