Rares Ilie scored the first goal for Rapid Bucuresti in the 80th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Sepsi couldn’t manage to score, and Rapid Bucuresti took the shutout win. Rapid Bucuresti looks to continue their winning ways, having won 7 of their last 10.
In their last match together, Chindia Târgovişte and Rapid Bucuresti battled to a 2-2 draw. Cristian Neguț struck first for Chindia Târgovişte in the 53rd minute, then in the 60th minute, Younes Bnou Marzouk sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Ilie .
