FCSB lost 3-1 against Basel, but Darius Olaru scored a sensational goal, being nominated for "Goal of the Round"

In the Europa League match, FCSB was defeated by Basel 3-1, with the Swiss scorers being Xherdan Shaqiri (19 p and 73) and Ibrahim Salah (89), while Darius Olaru scored for the Romanians in the 57th minute. The match began with a moment of silence in memory of Emeric Ienei, the former coach of Steaua, and the players were impressed by the silence in the stadium. Olaru stated that he was surprised by the respect of the fans and mentioned that, although the team did not achieve a positive result, his goal was a sensational moment; a "flick" in Neymar's style from when he was at Barcelona, a controlled chest reception, and a calculated shot that no one expected. His achievement was nominated for 'goal of the week' in the Europa League, a competition in which he is competing with three other players for this trophy.
