FC Argeş beat CS Universitatea Craiova 1-0 in Liga I, taking the points with an early goal and a disciplined defensive display. Yanis Pirvu scored the only goal of the game in the seventh minute, and Argeş held on despite spending most of the match without the ball.
The goal came when Taylor Luvambo set up Yanis Pirvu to score from close range. Craiova responded by dominating possession and creating chances, with 24 shots in total, but they could not beat the Argeş goalkeeper, who made four saves. The home side had 11 corners to Argeş's one, yet the match stayed 1-0.
