Match Report

ACS Olimpic Zarnesti started brightly, pressing high and forcing early errors from the Gloria defence, yet they failed to test the goalkeeper. Gloria gradually took control of midfield and opened the scoring midway through the first half with a well-struck volley from inside the box.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Olimpic Zarnesti enjoying spells of possession but lacking a final ball. Gloria doubled their lead from a counter-attack, finishing coolly one-on-one. The home side were reduced to speculative long-range efforts, none of which troubled the visitors.

Performance Notes

• Gloria Popesti-Leordeni’s finishing – two goals from limited chances, a sign of a sharp attacking unit.
• ACS Olimpic Zarnesti’s creativity – a clear area for improvement after failing to carve out clear-cut opportunities.

The result gives Gloria a boost ahead of their league campaign, while Olimpic Zarnesti will look to rectify their attacking shortcomings in future friendlies.
