Cetatea Suceava coach Petre Grigoraș receives red card for confronting referee after disallowed goal

Cetatea Suceava coach Petre Grigoraș received a red card during a Liga 2 match against FC Bihor. The incident occurred after the referee disallowed a late first-half goal for the home side. Grigoraș entered the field of play to confront the official and had to be restrained by others present.

The match was part of the 12th round of Liga 2. The score was tied at 2-2 at halftime. Suceava had scored an equalizing goal in the 45th minute of the first half.

Suceava scored another goal in the 45+2 minute of the first half. Referee Răzvan Negara did not validate this third goal. One report stated the referee had already blown the whistle for halftime before the ball entered the net.

Grigoraș reacted to the decision by entering the pitch. Players and staff intervened to separate the coach from referee Ioan-Răzvan Negară. The referee subsequently showed Grigoraș a red card, and he was sent to the stands.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw. The second half featured significant disciplinary action, with eight yellow cards shown during that period.
