In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League preliminary round, FCSB took a 2-0 lead at halftime over Andorran champions Inter d’Escaldes, with goals from David Miculescu (37’) and a penalty by Darius Olaru (45+3’). However, former Steaua player Stelian Stancu described FCSB’s performance as hesitant and highlighted moments of defensive lapses and a pressing challenge posed by their opponents, who showed ambition and resilience on the pitch. Stancu warned that if FCSB does not maintain focus, they could face difficulties, reflecting on similar past experiences where a lead was nearly overturned. This cautious outlook points to the need for FCSB to tighten their defense and maintain aggression to secure qualification in the return leg[1][3][4].
