Astra 0-1. Oxygen mouthpiece for “red lantern”

Hermannstadt lost the first chance of the match. Lazar took spectacular punishment Already from about 20 meters. Until the break, the Giurgius replied Budescu. Astra’s star was close to scoring, but Figueiredo opposed and rejected his execution from under the crossbar.

Neagoe’s team started the second act better, and in the 52nd minute his header Graovac was deflected over the crossbar by the Sibiu goalkeeper.

Although Sibiu had a double chance to score towards the end of the match, when Lazar miraculously parried in front of Karanovic and Jo, Astra finally broke the ice. Valentin Gheorghe welcomed the crowd when, in the 83rd minute, he crossed the entire central defense of the visitors and scored the 1 – 1 equalizer.

Astra remains the last in League 1 even after this victory, with 8 points accumulated, but she relaunches herself in the brawl in the cellar. Hermannstadt, with 3 defeats in the previous 4 games, is in 12th place, 3 points clear of today’s opponent.

The boys had a good game. We had more chances to score, even though they had the best chances in the second half, which was actually their only chance. We hope to rise in the standings in the next stages. Dani Coman came to the booth and announced a bonus right after the game was over
Eugen Neagoe, Astra coach

It was tough, the players did everything they could, everything I told them during the week. We tried to give our opponents little space, but in football it’s all about the result. We have lost and are disappointed
Ruben Albes, Hermannstadt coach
