Biore Oradea saw off Ştefăneşti 4-0 in the fifth round of Liga II's Regular Season on Saturday. The hosts dominated possession and created more chances, while the visitors managed only two shots on target all match. It was a comfortable afternoon for the home side, who controlled the tempo from the opening exchanges.
Boiciuc opened the scoring in the 18th minute, a goal that came from sustained pressure in the final third. Ştefăneşti had a yellow card in the 41st minute, and just before half-time Cruceru doubled the lead. To be fair, the visitors had already lost their shape by then, and the second goal felt inevitable once the home side found their rhythm.
After the break, the pattern continued. Hora added a third in the 72nd minute, and Bota wrapped it up late on in stoppage time. The away side picked up three yellow cards in the second half, but none of it mattered much — this was a game Biore had won long before the final whistle.
Statistics tell the story without embellishment. Biore Oradea enjoyed 63 per cent possession and registered 122 attacks compared to Ştefăneşti's 85. They landed nine shots on target to the visitors' two, and won six corners against none. And here's the thing — seven shots on target for Biore, one goal, and by the end of the match the efficiency was never going to be celebrated.
Both sides sit on six points after five games, though Biore Oradea occupy 14th place while Ştefăneşti are one rung lower at 15th. The home side have won once and drawn three times, while the visitors have lost three of their five outings. That gap in the standings remains narrow, but the quality of performance today suggests the relationship between form and position may not stay even for long.
