Match report
Politehnica Timișoara wrapped up a comprehensive victory against Concordia in the Liga II, Regular Season - 4, on 22 August 2026. The visitors ran out 5-1 winners at home, moving clear at the summit. To be fair, the result was never really in doubt after the first twenty minutes.
I. Doana opened the scoring in the fourth minute and doubled his tally by half-time. Three goals in eighteen minutes — and here's the thing — Concordia barely got going. Doana struck again on the fifty-first minute before G. Ganea pulled one back for the hosts in the seventy-ninth. A. Chitu added a late consolation in stoppage time.
Concordia made three changes at the break, bringing on A. Chiritoiu and S. Carrasco, only for both to pick up bookings before coming off. Politehnica turned to the kids at the sixty-sixth minute, substituting Doana himself after his three-goal haul. R. Ion and later I. Vasluian, O. Popescu, and S. Draghici joined the fray as the visitors closed the game out.
By then the statistics told their own story. Politehnica held 55 per cent possession and registered seven shots on target against five for the hosts. Both sides managed ten attacks, but the visitors landed three corners to Concordia's three — though the goal difference speaks louder than the numbers.
Concordia remain third with twelve points from five games, their four wins masking this afternoon's defeat. Politehnica sit top with thirteen points, their clean-sheet run coming to an end but their position strengthened. The old head settled them down after the early storm, and by then it was game over.
