Exclusive images have emerged showing the catering provided to Dinamo officials during their visit to Sepsi. These visuals contradict recent complaints made by Andrei Nicolescu regarding a lack of protocol after the match. The footage reveals the specific food platters available to the visiting delegation.

The football match between Sepsi and Dinamo ended with a score of 0-2 in favor of the visitors. Despite the result on the pitch, post-match discussions focused on off-field issues. Andrei Nicolescu accused the hosts of failing to provide adequate hospitality standards.

Sepsi officials have responded to these accusations. They claim that the complaints about protocol were a deliberate attempt to distract attention from other serious incidents during the game. The home club suggests the focus should remain on the behavior exhibited in the stands rather than catering arrangements.

During the match, referee Viorel Flueran interrupted play for two minutes. This stoppage was due to xenophobic chants coming from Dinamo fans. The interruption highlighted tensions that extended beyond the sporting contest itself.

Sfântu Gheorghe Mayor Antal Arpad has officially complained to the Romanian Football Federation. The complaint addresses repeated xenophobic and anti-Hungarian manifestations by Dinamo ultras during the event. The mayor cited these actions as unacceptable behavior within the stadium.

In an official document addressed to FRF president Răzvan Burleanu, Antal Arpad requested exemplary sanctions. The mayor also accused referees and police of lacking firmness in handling the situation. He argued that stronger measures were necessary to address such conduct.
