Politehnica Timisoara football team drew in the 10th round of the 3rd League. It was 0-0 with Phoenix Buziaș, away at Carani, in a windy and rainy weather.
The biggest chances for the guests came from Marincu (shot off the crossbar in the 15th minute) and the newcomer Mura (after a personal action in the 62nd minute), while Buziaș had a first half bar.
Phoenix had a penalty awarded for a Haloș intervention, but Murariu saved the execution of former Poli captain Nicolescu. It was 90+9 minutes, and the final whistle blew immediately afterwards!
Both manager Pantilimon and coach Codrea contested the manner of the refereeing and the award of the penalty, the latter receiving the yellow card.
Politehnica: Murariu – Haloș, Bocșan (c), Vlaicu, R. Ciurel – Prună, I. L. Rotariu (88, Pașcalău), Olariu – Marincu (60, Mura), D. Popa, Curescu (69, Tudoran; 88, D. Ciurel). Coach: Paul Codrea.
Pureca was suspended and newcomer Tudoran was later substituted due to injury. One of the reserves was Denis Tătaru (b. 2006), a junior in his own centre, son of former Politehnica centre-back Petre Tătaru in 1998.
