Univers Comrat wrap Spartacani Selamet with second win in three days
Univers Comrat booked their place in the next round of the Cup by beating Spartacani Selamet 3-0 on September 1. The hosts had lost 6-1 to the same visitors just three days earlier, and this time the margin was smaller but the result was the same. Spartacani Selamet failed to find the net for a third time in their last five matches, while Univers Comrat have now won two of their last three games.
And here's the thing — you don't need a minute-by-minute breakdown to see what happened. Spartacani Selamet looked short of ideas from the start, and Univers Comrat took their chances when they came. The away side scored their first goal early and never really looked back. By then the hosts had already conceded enough to make the evening one-sided.
Spartacani Selamet's recent run reads like a cautionary tale. They lost 10-0 to Iskra on August 21, then dropped 6-1 to Univers Comrat, followed by a 6-2 defeat to Vulturnu Kutuzator. They did manage a 1-1 draw with FCM Ungheni, but that was the only point they've taken in their last five matches. Univers Comrat, by contrast, have won twice and drawn once in the same period.
The scoreline 0-3 means Univers Comrat have now scored six goals in two meetings with Spartacani Selamet. The hosts have not scored in either game. In a Cup knockout like this, where one match decides your fate, that kind of deficit is difficult to overturn. The visitors advanced, and the hosts will have to answer questions about their defensive setup.
What matters for Spartacani Selamet now is whether they can regroup before their next fixture. They have been outscored 18-4 in their last five matches, and that gap is widening. Univers Comrat have shown they can punish mistakes, and they will be dangerous again if the hosts repeat the same pattern.
