Poli Timișoara defeated FC Bacău with a score of 1-0 in the 11th round of Liga 2. The match took place as part of the regular season schedule for the second tier of Romanian football.

Stefanovici provided the decisive moment for the home side. He scored the only goal of the game in the 11th minute, giving Poli Timișoara an early lead that they maintained until the final whistle.

The match was marked by a disciplinary incident involving the Poli Timișoara coaching staff. Head coach Dan Alexa received a red card in the 73rd minute of the contest.
