The domestic League One football championship, as of this year labelled
The Super League, has been recently resumed. After the first games, top of the
table is the newly-promoted FC Hermannstadt, thanks to
a most consistent 3-nil win against CS Mioveni. Otherwise, the debut round has
not come up with big surprises. However, the most unexpected result was provided
by the National Arena match, where FCSB have been held by another newly-promoted
team, Universitatea Cluj, to a 1-all draw. Guest team Universitatea was the first
ones to score. Matches counting towards the next round will be played from Friday
and all through to Monday, while the round’s headline-hitting game is the all-time
derby pitting Rapid Bucharest against FCSB.

The refereeing video assistance system, VAR, has been implemented
in the Romanian Super League as a novelty for Romanian football. In the first
round, the system was frequently used, which triggered a lot of controversies
as the VAR cabin referees did not give their feedback on certain phases of play
which the main referee may have found hard to notice on the pitch.

Four Romanian football teams prove their mettle in the
European Conference League’s second preliminary round. In an away fixture, FCSB
takes on Georgian opponents Saburtalo, in Gori. If they advance to the third
round, FCSB play Vikingur, of the Faeroe Islands or Slovakia’s Dunajska Streda.
Having been eliminated from the Champions League preliminaries, CFR Cluj plays
a home game against Inter d’Escaldes of Andorra. If they
make headway into the competition, CFR Cluj will face Belarus team Shakhtar Soligorsk,
On Thursday, Romanian Cup winners Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe play a home game
against Slovenia’s Olimpija Ljubljana. If
they advance to the competition’s third round, Sepsi may play Rijeka of
Croatia, or Swedish team Djurgaardens. In Shkoder, Albania, Universitatea
Craiova faces Vllaznia, and if they advance to the next round, Universitatea
will take on Ukrainian side Zarya Lugansk. (EN)
