Simon Elisor leads the rout of Botosani
3‑0, and Simon Elisor took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Universitatea Craiova tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Squad21 Sep 2026
A day Simon Elisor will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.
Match19 Sep 2026
Universitatea Craiova make it 3 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Universitatea Craiova have 3 straight wins of it.

A falling-out at Universitatea Craiova
Nicuşor Bancu and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
One of those days for Simon Elisor
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.69, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Ştefan Baiaram was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.20. 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 dugout21 Sep 2026
A satisfied Mihai Keseru
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑0, Mihai Keseru could afford to be generous.

Still no ink between Universitatea Craiova and David Matei
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Universitatea Craiova, another week without a signature from David Matei.

Baptiste Roux is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.
