Concoridia and Metalul Buhu met in Liga II's Regular Season round eight on Saturday evening, and the visitors took all three points with a goal in stoppage time. The match finished 0:1, a result that keeps Concoridia sixth on 15 points while Metalul Buhu remain eighth with 14. Eight games played for both sides, and one match day separates them still.
R. Milea broke the deadlock at 90+2, and it was the only shot on target either side managed all evening. To be fair, Concoridia had their chances, but they couldn't find the net. By then the game had settled into a rhythm where one mistake ended it.
The first half produced nothing of note, but the break brought a flurry of changes. Three substitutions came together at 46 for Concoridia — A. Chamorro, G. Iancu, and I. Soler — as if searching for something that wasn't there. G. Ganea followed at 63, and D. Sula at 74. Metalul responded with R. Caldararu and A. Nica at 78, then brought on C. Bortoneanu and A. Moldovan at 84.
The statistics tell a story of frustration more than dominance. Concoridia had 42 per cent possession and 76 attacks, yet registered zero shots on target. Metalul held 58 per cent and managed four shots on target from nine off target. Both sides recorded 76 attacks, but the conversion rate told you everything.
The win extends Metalul's unbeaten run to three matches, following their 2:0 away victory over Unirea Slobozia and a 1:1 draw at Viitorul Șelimbăr. Concoridia had looked sharp in their last outing, a 5:2 win against Dinamo București, but Saturday showed how quickly momentum can shift. One goal decides it.
