Resita extend lead with away victory over Satumare
CSM Resita moved further clear at the top of Liga II with a 2-0 win at Satumare on Saturday. The visitors took both goals in quick succession, putting distance between themselves and the chasing pack. Meanwhile the hosts remain searching for their first victory of the season.
S. Visic opened the scoring in the 30th minute, and C. Chira doubled the advantage just two minutes later. By then the match had settled into a pattern: Resita controlled the tempo and Satumare struggled to find their rhythm. And here's the thing — those early goals changed everything about how the game unfolded.
Discipline became an issue as the match progressed. Four yellow cards went to Satumare alongside one for their visitors, with bookings at 42, 62, 63, 83 and 87 minutes.
The result leaves Satumare still searching for their first victory. Six games played, three draws, three defeats, three points — the table tells a story of a team finding it difficult to kick-start their campaign.
Resita meanwhile sit second on 15 points from six matches, five wins and a single defeat. They have now extended their unbeaten run and pulled further away from the teams below them. The gap at the top continues to widen as the regular season gets underway.
