The match between Petrolul Ploiesti and FC Otelul Galati concluded with a 3-1 victory for the away team, FC Otelul Galati, showcasing both efficiency and resilience. Petrolul Ploiesti initially took the lead early in the game at the 12-minute mark, capitalizing on a momentary lapse in Galati's defense. However, Galati responded strongly with a quick equalizer in the first half, and this momentum set the stage for their second-half dominance.

A crucial factor in FC Otelul Galati's victory was their ability to capitalize on opportunities, as evidenced by their three goals from seven corner kicks, a significant conversion rate given the pressure of an away fixture. They demonstrated superior attacking coordination, evident in controlling the game tempo after their first goal. Petrolul Ploiesti, despite their early lead and slight advantage in fouls, struggled to regain control and failed to make an impact with just one offside call against them.

The discipline of both teams was tested, with each receiving three yellow cards. Otelul Galati's management of card incidents, notably without conceding further disciplinary setbacks, contributed to maintaining their structural focus. In contrast, the timing of Petrolul Ploiesti's yellow cards, especially in the second half when they were trailing, indicates a lack of composure which impeded their ability to recover. This, combined with Galati’s organized offense and strategic substitutions, allowed them to close the game effectively, reinforcing their ability to close matches securely.
