Mohammad Mohebi runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Pedro Nuno ran the middle of the pitch — 7.11
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 10 combined actions and a mark of 7.11, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

A falling-out at Oțelul Galați
Milen Zhelev and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Claudiu Nedelcearu chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

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

The form table has caught Răzvan Radu
Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

No goals between Oțelul Galați and CFR Cluj
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. CFR Cluj will be the happier side with the point.

When it matters, Patrick plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
