KSM Rezita and Băcău met in the seventh round of Liga II on Tuesday, with the visitors taking all three points through a single goal. The match finished 0:1 to Băcău, a result that keeps the two sides separated by just one point in the table.
M. Juric struck in the seventy-second minute to settle the contest, but the evening held another twist. An S. Savija effort was cancelled by VAR in the eighty-third minute, a decision that let Băcău breathe again after what looked like a late equaliser.
Rezita had arrived in fine form, five wins from seven games with nothing to lose. By then they were pressing for a point, and the cancelled goal proved it. And here's the thing — once that chance evaporated, the momentum shifted irrevocably.
Substitutions came thick and fast after half-time. Four changes for one side in the seventy-seventh minute, while the other brought on L. Sulaimon and S. Visic to start the second half. Yellow cards for A. Coaja, C. Barbut and P. Mitrica kept the match honest.
Rezita remain fifth on fifteen points, Băcău sixth on fourteen. A narrow margin, and one that could easily flip after a single moment of quality — or a single VAR intervention.
