Steaua București hosted Gyergyói in the National Championship on October 13th, and the visitors made no mistake in claiming a comprehensive 6-1 victory. To be fair, the result reflected the form each side had been in recently, though the margin still caught attention. Steaua arrived fifth in the table with just one win from four matches, while Gyergyói sat third after three victories.
And here's the thing about Steaua's recent run — they'd lost three of their last four before this game. A 1-4 defeat to Fenestela, then a 2-3 loss to Csíkszereda, and only a 6-4 win against Sapientia U23 to show any resistance. They'd been dragged out of position defensively, conceding heavily in most outings. By then, the writing was on the wall for anyone watching closely.
Gyergyói came in with better momentum, having won three of their previous five games. A 2-4 loss to MAK Újbuda and a 1-3 defeat to Brașov bookended a run that included victories over DEÁK, Fehe19, and Sapientia U23. They looked sharper, more organised, and Steaua couldn't handle the pressure.
The match itself told the story without needing minute-by-minute detail. Six goals to one — a result that left Steaua with zero points from four games and Gyergyói still level on points despite their earlier defeat. The visitors held every card from start to finish, and Steaua ran out of legs trying to keep up.
What this means for the standings is straightforward. Steaua remain in the lower half with no points and four games played. Gyergyói stay third, still unbeaten in three of four matches, and now holding a clear advantage in the table. The gap between them is widening, and by then, anyone betting on the home side would have been sorely disappointed.
