Politehnica Timișoara’s impressive pre-season run continues as the newly promoted side in Liga 2, led by coach Dan Alexa, has achieved two solid results in their Austrian training camp against strong opponents from top European leagues.
The highlight of their pre-season so far has been a 1-0 victory over Lecce, an Italian Serie A team that finished 17th in the previous season and narrowly avoided relegation. The lone goal of the match was scored by Ianis Doană, a player on loan from Dinamo, who was transferred to Poli Timișoara in the summer transfer window. The Romanian side had several good scoring opportunities but ultimately failed to seal a more convincing victory, missing a crucial penalty kick in the process.
Lecce, who had one of the weakest attacks in Serie A last season, scoring just 28 goals, managed to end their previous season on a positive note with crucial wins against Pisa and Sassuolo. Their performance against Poli Timișoara was a testament to the Romanian side’s growing strength and potential.
Politehnica Timișoara’s Solid Draw Against Al Shabab
In a separate match, Poli Timișoara drew 0-0 with Al Shabab, a Saudi Pro League team that finished 13th last season. Al Shabab had a solid campaign in the league, but their performance in the King’s Cup and the Gulf Club Champions League was impressive, as they reached the quarterfinals and the final, respectively.
