The Romanian Superligă is just around the corner, and Farul is still searching for their footing. The team, led by Ioan Ovidiu Sabău, suffered a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Bulgarian side Cherno More in an friendly match played at the Hagi Academy Training Grounds. This was the team’s third pre-season test, following a 1-1 draw against Fratria and a 0-0 draw against Oțelul Galați.
The team’s new signing, Matteo Ahlinvi, made his debut for the club, but it was not enough to inspire a win. The French midfielder played the full 90 minutes, but it was Cherno More’s Kolev who scored the only goal of the game in the 57th minute. The loss is a setback for Farul, who will look to bounce back in their next friendly match against Dinamo.
The match against Cherno More was played on a secondary pitch to protect the main stadium’s grass ahead of the new season. The team’s lineup featured a mix of experienced players and new signings, with Buzbuchi between the posts and Sylveste and Alibec up front. The result will be a concern for Sabău and his staff, who will be looking to get their team ready for the new season.
Pre-Season Struggles Continue for Farul
Csikszereda, another Romanian Superligă team, also suffered a pre-season defeat, losing 1-3 to Croatian side Slaven Belupo. The team, led by Istvan Szabo, started the match strongly, taking the lead in the 16th minute. However, their advantage was short-lived, as Slaven Belupo equalized from the penalty spot just before halftime. The Croatian side then scored two goals in quick succession in the second half, securing the win.
Csikszereda will begin the new season on the road, facing Corvinul Hunedoara in their first match. The team will be looking to get their pre-season struggles behind them and start the new season on a positive note.
