Clean sheet in Suruceni
The second tour of the Moldova Football Championship in the National Division brought together the leaders of the last season - gold and silver medalists - FC Sfintul Gheorghe and FC Sheriff in the face-to-face match.
It was a duel in which there was a lot of struggle and only from time to time a little football and good attacks. At the same time, our football players were more successful in the creative plan. Only in the first 20 minutes, the wards of Zoran Zekic could send the ball into the net at least four times.
The most controversial moment occurred in the middle of the half, the ball after shot of Veaceslav Posmac hit the crossbar and seemed to cross the goal line. However, not a single repeat confirms this - the moment the ball touches the ground is closed by the players.
In total, FC Sheriff made 13 shots against an opponent’s 4 to the goal. Dumitru Celeadnic again strained, but it did not come to saves. The number of shots on target by the hosts stopped at zero. We also note that in the first half, the wards of Sergei Chebotari did not strike a single shot, even towards the goal.
A total advantage and corner kicks, 2-8. And this is with an equal percentage of possession of the ball - 50 vs 50.
A large number of single combats leads to the prohibitive number of recorded violations - 39 for two. Perhaps this is the explanation why there was little football. With a large number of stops, it simply can not be.
Ahead is home game against an outsider - FC Codru, Lozova. It will be played on Saturday, July 11, at the FC Sheriff Small Arena.
