Player ratings

Both of them Djibril Achoui's — 8.63

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.63, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Andréa Parsy-Lucas asks to leave Unirea Slobozia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Kingsley Asante Ofori yet — 8.30

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.30 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

The dugout

Michael Pearson: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Unirea Slobozia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Unirea Slobozia count the cost of losing Matthew Green

27 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match

Unirea Slobozia cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Words exchanged at Unirea Slobozia

Simão Silva and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A move Viktor Svanberg would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Viktor Svanberg is living that version at Unirea Slobozia, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match

Djibril Achoui sends Unirea Slobozia past FC Bihor Oradea

It finished 3‑1, and it was Djibril Achoui’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Unirea Slobozia.

In brief
