Steaua, a historical shame in front of Rapid

Rapid humiliated Steaua in only 45 minutes, it has chances again for Europa League and they made almost impossible to accomplish the dream of red-blues for a new titleYou may see here the result of the match Rapid - Steaua 5-1! (video)

Maybe it is an easy remark, but Rapid animated all of a sudden under Sandu Neagu’s angelic wings. His spirit handled the atmosphere of the derby with Steaua, on the stand and on the ground, which was enough pressing to push from behind the club from Giuleşti to a remarkable first half. Similar, if you want, with that fabulous 45 minutes of the national team from May '92, when Hagi (2), Lupescu (2) and Balint were annihilating triumphal Wales with 5-0 after only 30 minutes of playing! Copos: "We have a great team, a great coach and a great gallery" (video)

That masterpiece belonged to Dinu. Now, a man also from Dinamo, Andone, marked his CV with a remarkable execution. He arranged his team in a system 4-2-3-1 respected strictly by Lazăr and co. And he liberated the dogs from the first second! Grigorie (4) and Spadacio (5) have warmed quickly the red-blue box , preparing with courage the field for Ioniţă’s explosion.  Andone: "We didn't care it was Steaua, we need the points" (video)

The kid prepared for Bundesliga has thrown Giuleşti in the air thrilling with a head kick on Tătăruşanu’s right side (7) and he signed then "the double" with cool blood (17). Between the successes of the forward from Rapid, the only glimpse of Steaua, with a penalty obtained and transformed by Kapetanos (14), of course!, the only exemplar alive from Stoichiţă’s yard.  Stoichiţă: "Nothing is lost, we must go on" (video)

The most clear success in the history
With a couple of stoppers without compass, Ov. Petre - Toja, who seem to be argued with the dispossessions or the passes, the guests walked minute after minute into the endless traps lay on all over the field by And one’s players. On the right side, Săpunaru and Grigorie exasperated Petre Marin, and on the left side Spadacio and Cesinha felt like in a walk on Calea Victoriei. The second changed the scoreboard at 3-1 with a short lob over Tătăruşanu, lengthened then in the net (22), the complement coming from Marius Constantin, a penalty transformed after a fault over Grigorie.

After the break, the same game of cats and mice. A team of Steaua a little bit more vivacious, as much as to have two anemic trials at Bornescu’s goalpost, through Arman Karamian (67) and Stancu (69). But also a Rapid as determined as in the first half, pointing without mercy for an incredible 5-1 (73), suitable to shape the most spectacular victory from Giuleşti in this season, but also the most certain success of Rapid against Steaua in the history! But with special dedication for CFR Cluj, who, through Steaua’s lfailure, goes straight to a new title.

Săpunaru should have been eliminated
Marius Avram made one arbitration mistake. Săpunaru had a killing attack over Tănase, but Avram dictated only fault, not even a yellow. The TV replays demonstrate that Săpunaru goes with both feet on the tibia of the player from Steaua, Tănase’s right foot bending under the force of Săpunaru’s crampons.

Homage for Sandu Neagu
The players entered before the beginning of the match with T-shorts having Sandu Neagu’s face with the number 9 on the back. The players from Giuleşti showed also a banner on which they wrote: "Sandu Neagu left to the Heaven; Giuleşti won’t be the same without him". On the telegraph board circulated images from the football player career of the former glory from Rapid, but also from the last years. The wife of the former football player and his children watched the match from the official stand, dressed in mourning. In front of the stadium, the officials from Giuleşti laid out a place where people could put flowers and lit candles. (Cătălin Popescu)
