Petrolul 52
Unirea Slobozia
Petrolul 52 secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Unirea Slobozia with Ricardinho's last-gasp winner in the 90th minute, capping off what appeared to be a frustrating evening for the home side. The match was characterized by extensive squad rotation from both managers, with eight substitutions made across the 90 minutes as teams looked to find the breakthrough in what became an increasingly tense affair. The turning point came in the final stages when tensions boiled over, resulting in yellow cards for Andreas Hirzel and another player following an argument, before Ricardinho stepped up to deliver the decisive moment. This crucial victory provides Petrolul 52 with valuable points in what appears to be a lower-table battle, while Unirea Slobozia will rue their inability to see out what looked destined to be a hard-earned point on the road.
