Dorinel Munteanu hoped that the script from last two matches, when CFR won, will continue with Naţional, but it didn't. CFR dominated the match but without result. Panin (7, 16) started to miss the opportunities of the hosts. Adrian Anca was blocked at 7 metres by defender of Naţional, Mehmedović (24) and Mijin sent the ball over the post in 28 minute. Naţional has balanced the match in second half. Săpunaru (49) asked goal after keeper Ţurcaş catched the ball on the line. In 84 minute the powerful shot of Mijin was rejected by Stanev very hard, and Roszel headed in 86 near by the post. The match finished 0-0, CFR not succeeding after 7 matches to win in front of own fans.

With the owner arrested, with Adi Olah and Gabi Cânu isolated at second team, Poli hoped to win three points at Bistriţa. First opportunity of the match had Gloria, by Gabriel Mureşan (11), his powerful shot from 30 metres passing near by the post. Poli responded by Criistian Silvăşan (19), and 19 minutes later Silviu Izvoranu scored, profiting by the mistake of Alin Chibulcutean, who kept the ball too much instead to send it away from post. The red card received by Sreten Stanić in 53 minute gave hope to Bistriţa. In 68 minute "junior" Iftodi (38-year-old) remained alone with keeper Marius Popa, and balanced the match. Gloria could win, but Gabriel Mureşan and Alin Chibulcutean were blocked by Marius Popa, and Ifeanyi Emeghara. In extra time keeper Popa fouled Sanndu Negrean in penalty area but referee Alexandru Tudor didn't see...

There were 90 minutes of torment, the players who played football being just Diniţă and Huţan. Too little to see a goal, which no team would have deserved it. It was a boring match, and at the end of the match Jiul breathed hard and Vaslui needed perfusions. The shots to the post were replaced with tracers which struck the snowed mountains and the dribblings were replaced with hindrances of a too round ball. Diniţă was the single player of the hosts who could create problems at the post of Vaslui.

FC Argeş showed again that defensive game isn't good. Sportul played offensive from the beginning, the attack being the single strategy imposed by coach Gigi Mulţescu. The match was decided by a mistake of defender Andrei Prepeliţă, who fouled Marius Nae in penalty area, in 73 minute. Captain Alin Chiţa has exaggerated with the protests at this phase and he received second yellow card, annihilating practically any chance of Argeş to return the score. Tibi Bălan transformed the penalty kick and Sportul reduced the engines, being satisfied with 1-0 in face of a defensive team like Argeş.

Criticised by everybody, including by own players, that plays too defensive, coach Momcilo Vukotić decided to risk. He sent on the field two strikers, Liviu Mihai and Tibor Moldovan, and told the players not to play with long balls, like in last matches, but even so Farul didn't have too much opportunities. The single opportunity to score of Farul in first half had Tibor Moldovan, in 29 minute, his shot hitting the bar. Poli Iaşi tried to score by shots from long distance, but keeper George Curcă always was careful. After the break the hosts were more decisive. In 60 minute Dinu Todoran tricked the defenders of Iaşi and scored from 8 metres. Till the end of the match no team succeeded to have new opportunities to score.

The changing of Ion Marin with Florin Marin didn't transform over night the "puppies" in "Red dogs" who should scare Divizia A. Dinamo has dominated the match, but the strikers weren't in their best day. Ionel Dănciulescu has missed in 27 minute the biggest opportunity of first half, shooting near the post from a very good position. Except that, Dinamo had just one more opportunity, the "debutant" Tibi Curt sending the ball with the head over the bar, from 5 metres. Second half started well for Bacău, but Adrian Gheorghiu (50) couldn't profit by the mistake of Cosmin Bărcăuan, saved by keeper Cristi Munteanu. Adrian Gheorgiu could score again in 72 minute, the same as Claudiu Munteanu for Dinamo, in 74 minute. The player who saved Dinamo was Tibi Curt, who scored with the head in extra time. In that moment Bacău had 10 players on the field, because Marius Potorac has injuried, and coach Cristi Popovici finished all the substitutions...

Oţelul was present on the field just a few minutes, in the debut of the match. Bălţoi remained alone with Mincă in first minute, but referee Corpodean whistled off-side. Two minutes later Daniel Stan was close to score, but Maftei interfered and from this moment, for many minutes, just the hosts have played. Daniel Niculae needed three clear opportunities to score once. In 5 minute he shot near by the post from 16 metres, three minutes later Daniel Pancu let him alone with the keeper, but Daniel Niculae hit the bar, and he scored just after an excellent cross of Vali Bădoi. In 10 minute, at the phase when Daniel Niculae scored, Marius Baciu entered with the sole ahead and fouled Lucian Burdujan. Răzvan Lucescu replaced him after the break, not to risk a more serious injury. Oţelul was dangerous by the shot of Sergiu Costin. And that was all for visitors. It followed a new moment of quietness for the players of Oţelul and two goals in two minutes for Rapid. First scored Nicolae Grigore from 16 metres, then Lucian Burdujan, after a prolonged phase of attack when Daniel Niculae and Daniel Pancu missed the target. After the break Viorel Moldovan entered, but not his ball too, shot from 20 metres. It followed new opportunities of the hosts, by Daniel Niculae (60) and Viorel Moldovan (63), but the same veteran Moldovan established the final score in 78 minute. Rapid won again and enters in the fight for the title not just by declarationas.

Steaua has played against Pandurii without Carlos, Goian, P.Marin, Boştină, Opriţa (spared) and without Paraschiv and Ogăraru (suspended). The hosts started the match directly in the field of Pandurii and Nicoliţă was blocked in last moment by Al.Cristea in minute 11, and two minutes later Dică shot powerful from 22 metres, close to the bar. It was the prelude of the big opportunities from minute 18, when Mirel Rădoi shot from 15 metres, Pustinjaković rejected with the foot like at handball, but till Lovin, who couldn't defeat keeper of Pandurii from 6 metres. Nae Ungureanu set courageous his team on the field, 3-4-3 like the system of Răzvan Lucescu at Rapid. But this was just on the paper, because on the field Pandurii remained with just one striker, lost in the circle from the middle of the field, while the rest of the players retreated in defence. The first shot of Pandurii was in minute 39, by Vintilescu. Steaua missed other opportunities, but most incredible had E.Baciu, after received in penalty area a perfect pass from M.Rădoi, in minute 44. Second half was like first, with Steaua dominating continuous. Lovin shot over the post in minute 52, while M.Rădoi and Nicoliţă were running in all directions. "Oli, send another striker" - have shouted the tribunes, scared by the draw. And Olăroiu sent Opriţa on the field, but without result, for the beginning. Steaua seemed that is sleeping, while the safety of the visitors was growing. Vintilescu had a huge opportunity to score in the post of Steaua, in minute 76, but the ball send with his head passed at a few cm by the bar. Steaua has frozen. Then, in minute 79 came the goal. Gabi Boştină crossed a ball in the penalty area and Victor Naicu sent the ball in his own post after a duel with Opriţa. Victory of three points for Steaua, but the team of Olăroiu is gasping and the final of the championship will be very difficult for them...
