FCSB Loses to CFR Cluj; Fans Demand Coach Baciu's Resignation

CFR Cluj secured a 1-0 victory over FCSB in a Superliga football clash at the Stadionul „Dr. Constantin Rădulescu” in Cluj. The decisive goal came in the 77th minute from a penalty converted by Andrei Cordea, awarded after a handball by FCSB's Joao Paulo.

Despite dominating the match, FCSB failed to capitalize on their chances, with Ofri Arad hitting the post in the 72nd minute. The loss marked FCSB's first defeat of the season. Following the game, some FCSB supporters called for the resignation of coach Marius Baciu.

“

I haven't heard the fans' reaction. They are upset. I have no problem. I continue my work. If there is a decision, I will comply, without any problem.

Baciu acknowledged the fans' frustration but expressed his readiness to accept any decision from the club's management. "I haven't heard the fans' reaction. They are upset. I have no problem. I continue my work. If there is a decision, I will comply, without any problem," he stated.

Reflecting on the match, Baciu described it as frustrating, noting that the team lost without conceding from open play and failed to convert their opportunities. He also mentioned the dry pitch and the team's cautious approach in the first half. "We had good moments, but when they were left with one striker, we should have pushed higher. We didn't bring the ball between the lines. We didn't change direction in attack," he added, while also commenting on the penalty incident.

“

It's frustrating. The opponents don't reach the goal and you leave without a point. We had chances, we didn't take advantage of them. We lost the first match this season, on a fairly difficult pitch. A team that defended its chances correctly.
