Chronicle - Superliga | Petrolul - FC Botoșani 0-0. The Moldovans finish the first half of the championship in first place.

"Botoșani defies, in steps of Moldovan horă, all playoff calculations. Grozavu's nobles finish at the top, on goal difference, in the first half of the regular season and are true guides on the road to the title.

The last match of the first half ended as it started, 0-0. It was a goalless draw, animated in the last quarter of an hour by a penalty awarded from the VAR room. It was the 76th minute when the goalkeeper of Petrolul, the Austrian Stefan Krell, collided with Kovtaliuk, closer to the advertisements than to the goal. Referee Mladenovici saw a simulation and issued a "yellow" for the Ukrainian striker from Botoșani, but he had to reconsider his decision after more than 3 minutes of replays. The same Krell saved the penalty taken by Mitrov, making the goalkeeper from Ploiești the best player of a rather dull, even anxious match."
