It is the 3rd game this week and it is important for us to stay focused to obtain the 3rd positive result in a row. Probably after the last results, there will be a bigger pressure for Gaz Metan, but their game has consistency. Eric, Bawab and Roman are extremley dangerous players, we need to be careful. It is wired for us to play at Bistrita two times in a season, 1st time home and now with Gaz Metan at Medias as hosts." (U Cluj stadium is 90% finished but they could not host games yet)

Gaz Metan dominated the game with FCM Targu-Mures, but couldn't score any goal. The fans left for their homes angry because they expected the team to score a few because they had one player more on the field from the 20th minute. Pustai's team didn't win a game for 2 rounds, so they hope to do it with Cluj, because they could miss a place in European Cups.
