the ball from the line of the net. The same intervention he had with 20
minutes before the final, at the shot of Șandor.
Tibor Moldovan (Apulum Alba-Iulia): After 8 months of
break, the striker of Apulum returned to the field. The player who was
wanted by coach Iordănescu one year ago seemed to be finish, especially
he had problems out of football too, being sued by the family of her ex
girlfriend, the motive being that he would have beaten her. In that period
Dinamo was negotiated with Apulum to bring Moldovan in "Stefan cel
Mare", but coach of Dinamo, Andone, hearing the story with his girlfriend,
didn't want him anymore at Dinamo. Now, in the match with Craiova, he
was sent on the field in 63 minute, at 0-0. He needed just of one minute
to score, with a shot from 3 metres, without any chance for Adnan Guso.
With one minute before the end, Tibor would have scored again, with the
head, but the Bosnian goalkeeper of Universitatea saved the ball.
Daniel Niculae (Rapid București): The striker of Rapid
had an excellent day, succeeding to win the match with FC Argeș by himself.
The visitors had the advantage at the end of first half, 0-1, but in 2nd
half, after just one minute, "Nico" scored, after of a free-kick
of Bădoi, pushing the ball into net from 2 metres. In 59 minute he scored
from penalty-kick, bar-goal, and in the end he made the hattrick-ul, scoring
beside Coman, came to face him out. With these 3 goals, Niculae is on
first place with Dănciulescu at top scorers, both having 11 goals. His
game made one of officials of FC Argeș to say "better Niculae would
have missed and would have played all the rest of the players...".
Came to watch goalkeepers Dolha and Coman, the coach Iordănescu was amazed
by the performance of young striker of Rapid, so it's possible that Niculae
to be selected for the match against Armenia, from 17 November.
