FC Otelul Galati claimed a valuable 2-1 home win over Arges in the Romanian Super Liga on Saturday, December 20, 2025. The victory strengthens Otelul's position in the middle of the table and halts a recent run of indifferent form. The home side started brightly and were rewarded with an early goal from a corner kick. Arges grew into the game and found an equalizer just before the hour mark, setting up a tense final half-hour. Otelul showed great character to respond almost immediately, restoring their lead with a well-taken finish following a swift counter-attack. The remainder of the match saw Arges push for a second equalizer, but the Otelul defense held firm under pressure. This result gives Otelul a welcome three points, creating a small buffer between them and the teams below, while Arges remains entrenched in a battle near the bottom. The Otelul coach highlighted his team's resilience, and the Arges manager focused on the need to be more ruthless in both boxes.
