Commentator Bogdan Cosmescu criticized referee George Roman's officiating during FC Voluntari's match against Farul Constanţa in the Romanian SuperLiga. His primary dissatisfaction concerned the decision to award only five minutes of added time for the second half. Cosmescu stated that Voluntari were dominating the opponents when this short additional period was announced, arguing the allocation was insufficient given the match circumstances.

Farul Constanţa secured a 2-1 victory in the fixture. This result ended a nine-month away winless streak for the club in the SuperLiga, a run that dated back to January 25, 2026. The outcome marked a significant shift in form for the visiting side after an extended period without success on the road.

Denis Alibec opened the scoring for Farul in the 16th minute following a defensive error by the hosts. Ahlinvi increased the lead eight minutes later to establish a two-goal advantage before the half-hour mark. These early strikes placed Farul in a commanding position and forced Voluntari to chase the game for the remainder of the contest.

Cestic scored for the hosts in the 66th minute to reduce the deficit. He nearly equalized in stoppage time before goalkeeper Rafael Munteanu made a save to preserve Farul's lead. This late chance occurred during the disputed five-minute addition that drew criticism from Cosmescu regarding its adequacy for the final stages of play.
