The clash between FC Buzău and CFR Cluj ended with a narrow victory for the visiting side, CFR Cluj, who secured the win with a solitary goal in the second half. A pivotal factor in CFR Cluj's success was their defensive discipline despite an aggressive start, as indicated by their commendable ability to withstand pressure, especially after accumulating five yellow cards. Contrarily, FC Buzău, with just one yellow card, managed a cleaner game but failed to capitalize on this discipline to alter the scoreline.

CFR Cluj's ability to score their decisive goal at the 66th minute was a testament to their offensive efficiency; contrastingly, they only had two corner kicks compared to FC Buzău’s five. This efficiency spoke volumes about their strategic positioning and finishing capabilities. Meanwhile, FC Buzău's inability to convert their set-piece opportunities into goals highlighted a key area where they lacked impact despite having more chances to disrupt Cluj's defense.

Another critical aspect of Cluj's narrow win was their command in managing the game through effective fouling when necessary, as seen in their 12 fouls compared to Buzău’s six. The high number of fouls and yellow cards speaks to a physical style of play that, while risky, effectively disrupted Buzău's rhythm, particularly in the midfield. This strategy, despite its risks, prevented Buzău from building momentum and posed a strategic merit in containing the home team's threats throughout the match.
