CFR Cluj hopes to advance drop with loss to Bordeaux
By: sasha | November 5th, 2008
CFR Cluj’s hopes to advance to the next round of the Champions League took a big fall win a 2-1 loss to Bordeaux at home. Cluj fell victim to poor defensive play early with Bordeaux’s Yoann Gourcuff scoring barely six minutes from the start but were able to level it only three minutes later with Dani heading the ball in, set-up from a Emmanuel Culio free-kick. Thanks to some great goalkeeper by Bordeaux’s Mathieu Valverde, Cluj were kept off the score-sheet again and Wendel gave the Ligue 1 club the important away victory with seven minutes remaining in the half with a perfectly placed free-kick from twenty meters or so. The loss dumps Cluj to bottom of fourth in Group A, two points behind both Bordeaux and Roma. Unfortunately Ciprian Deac, the highly promising young Tricolorii striker didn’t fare in the starting lineup but did enter with thirteen minutes remaining. Hopefully in the future Maurizio Trombetta will make him part of the strategic plan.
