CS Universitatea Craiova secured a hard-fought 1-0 home win against FC Otelul Galati in the Romanian Super Liga at the Stadionul Ion Oblemenco on Friday, February 6, 2026. The narrow victory, secured by a solitary first-half goal, was enough to keep Craiova in the hunt for a top-three finish in the league standings. The only goal of the game came from a well-rehearsed set-piece in the 30th minute, with a powerful header finding the back of the net. Otelul Galati pushed for an equalizer in the second half, forcing the Craiova goalkeeper into several important saves, but the home defense held firm to preserve the clean sheet. The three points were vital for Craiova's European aspirations, while Otelul's spirited performance yielded nothing. The Craiova manager emphasized the "importance of winning these tight games," and the Otelul coach praised his team's effort but bemoaned a "lack of luck in front of goal."
