Romanian football side CFR Cluj is one step away from Europa League’s
\ngroups after the 1-0 away win against the Swedish champions Djurgarden in the
\ncompetition’s third preliminary round on Thursday. The Romanians managed a
\ntactical domination during the game and secured a well-deserved victory.
\nBrazilian Paulo Vinicius scored for the visitors in the 55th minute.

CFR came closer to the second goal 20 minutes later but the shot of
\nVenezuelan Mario Rondon was denied by the crossbar. In order to make it to the Europa
\nLeague groups, the Romanians will be up against Finish side KuPS Kuopio, which
\ncomes after a 2-0 win against the Lithuanians from Suduva. <\/p>\n

Also in the third preliminary round of Europa League, FCSB lost their
\nhome match to the Czech side Slovan Liberec 0-2. The Romanians relied on an
\nimprovised lineup, due to the 15 Covid infections in the team. Furthermore,
\nFCSB was left with only 10 players after Stefan Cana had been given an early
\nbath for a challenge during the game. The Romanians fought hard way into the game’s
\nsecond half when Yusuf Helal, a player from Bahrein, put the visitors in the
\nlead on 64 minutes. Michael Rabusic sealed the points for Slovan in the 82nd
\nminute. <\/p>\n
