Botoşani
Unirea Slobozia
Botoşani snatched a dramatic victory in the dying moments after Mykola Kovtalyuk's nightmare first half turned the match on its head. The defender scored an own goal in the 34th minute before receiving a red card for violent conduct just four minutes later, leaving Slobozia to defend their lead with ten men for over half the match. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Slobozia appeared to have salvaged a point when substitute Andrei Dumiter equalized in the 89th minute, but Pape Djibril Diaw had the final word with a winner in the 90th minute. The victory moves Botoşani up the table while Slobozia will rue missed opportunities to close out the game despite their defensive capitulation.
