Farul Constanta earned a hard-fought 1-0 away victory over Petrolul Ploiesti in the Romanian Super Liga on January 25, 2026. A single goal in the second half was enough for the visitors to claim all three points in a tense and tactical encounter. The match-winning moment came from a moment of individual brilliance, as the Farul winger cut inside from the left and curled a superb shot into the far corner. Petrolul Ploiesti responded with increased pressure but found it difficult to create clear chances against a well-organized Farul defense. The home team's best opportunity came from a free-kick that was tipped over the bar, but they ultimately could not find a way through. This result strengthens Farul Constanta's position in the top half of the table, while Petrolul remains embroiled in a battle near the bottom. The Farul coach highlighted the importance of patience, while the Petrolul manager expressed disappointment at his team's lack of creativity.
