FC Voluntari 1:2 FC Petrolul Ploiesti — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Breston Malula struck in the 71st minute as FC Petrolul Ploieşti came from behind to beat FC Voluntari 2-1 in Liga I, with the win secured despite Mihai Roman II's equaliser for the hosts midway through the first half. Alejandro Bran had opened the scoring for the visitors inside nine minutes before Roman II levelled ten minutes later, setting up a tense contest that Petrolul ultimately edged on the road.

The turning point arrived just past the hour mark when Léo Teixeira's delivery found Malula, who finished decisively to put Petrolul back in front after Roman II had earlier cancelled out Bran's opener with Ion Gheorghe providing the assist. The match was punctuated by six yellow cards, including one for Roman II in the 14th minute and another for Paul Papp shortly after, but no red cards or VAR interventions altered the flow.

Petrolul shaded the shot count 19 to 15 and controlled more of the ball in the first half, though Voluntari dominated possession after the break with 60% yet failed to convert that pressure into further goals. Mihai Roman II was the standout performer with a rating of 8.3 out of ten, his goal and forward play keeping Voluntari in the contest throughout. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Voluntari, but the result went against that prediction as Petrolul's efficiency proved decisive.
