The Romanian champions played daringly against Malmo. The first half was balanced, with occasions to score for both sides. CFR ended the first half at an advantage, thanks to the 36th minute score by Croat Damjan Djokovic.



Malmo started the second half with an advantage. After assaulting the Cluj goal with a vengeance, the hosts managed in the 55th minute to reestablish equality with the goal scored by Icelander Ingvi Traustason. After they got scored against, the footballers from Cluj started pushing forward. In the 77th minute, however, they were left with 10 players in the field, after Argentinian player Juan Emmanuel Culio got a second yellow card. After being eliminated from the Champions League, CFR Cluj will continue its international course in the third Europa League preliminaries.

Jiangsu Suning, Olaroius team, won 1-0 against Henan Jianye. In the rankings, Jiangsu Suning is in fourth place, with 25 points, six points behind headliners Shandong Luneng.



Guizhou Henfeng, trained by Dan Petrescu, last ranking, won 4-3 against home contender Chongqig Lifan. Guizhou Henfeng wins its first victory after Dan Petrescu was appointed coach, in early June. The team has 8 points after 15 rounds, and is 6 points from the kick back threshold, on which its Wednesday adversary lies.
