Steaua-Rapid 0-2 Etapa 25 Divizia A

Just two days after the Middlesbrough defeat, Steaua lost another game, this time against Rapid, in the last game of the 25th domestic round.
The game was played on the «National» stadium, the guests dominated the encounter and got a win thanks to the two goals scored in the first half by Pancu (min.21) and V. Modovan (min.31). Our players had a low morale after the shock defeat in the UEFA Cup just two days before and obviously could not get over it in such a short time. Our play lacked vision, spirit and purpose, qualities that our fans saw aplenty in most of our previous games this season. This was the third defeat for us in the current domestic season and we are third on the table at the moment, but we also have two games in hand. We have to take on Pandurii Tg. Jiu and FCM Bacau to be level for games played with the rest of the teams. The first game will be played on Wednesday May 3rd 2006, at 2030h on the “National” stadium against Pandurii Tg. Jiu who is currently next to last on the table.
