  Shtefanesti claimed a narrow victory over Dumbravita, winning 1-0 in the second round of Liga II's regular season on 8 August. The result keeps both sides in the lower reaches of the table, with the hosts sitting seventeenth and the visitors languishing in twentieth place after six games each.

  \n\n

  The decisive moment arrived in the fifty-fourth minute when I. Man fired home the only goal of the contest. The striker's strike came shortly after the hosts had weathered an early wave of pressure, and it proved enough to separate the two sides on the night.

  \n\n

  Shtefanesti had to weather a sustained period of away pressure. Dumbravita registered more attacks overall, with 115 to the hosts' 84, and claimed possession at 51 per cent. However, they failed to convert that dominance into clear-cut opportunities, managing only three shots on target compared to five for Shtefanesti.

  \n\n

  The visitors kept knocking on the door throughout the second half, but the home defence held firm. Shtefanesti's goalkeeper was called into action five times, while Dumbravita's keeper faced just three attempts on target. The difference in finishing quality told in the end.

  \n\n

  Cards peppered the latter stages of the match. Shtefanesti collected three yellows, including one around the forty-first minute, while Dumbravita picked up two. A yellow in the seventy-second minute, followed by two more in the closing minutes, suggested the tension was building as the draw looked increasingly likely.

  For Shtefanesti, this marks their second win from six matches and moves them to six points. Dumbravita remain winless, their three draws and three defeats leaving them on three points. The hosts will hope this result provides a foundation to build on, while the visitors face an uphill battle to find consistency."
