Rapid Bucureşti edges back into Europa League spot

Following last match-day loss to Argeş Piteşti, Marian Rada's Rapid Bucureşti crept into Europa League spot with a 2-0 victory over Pandurii Târgu Jiu.

Juliano Spadacio gave Rapid six minutes before the half-hour as he accepted Montenegro international Radomir Đalović provision at the top of the box before driving the ball in via a opportunistic deflection off Târgu Jiu defender Alin Chibulcutean. Spadacio doubled the margin with seventeen minutes remaining as he struck a free-kick to the left corner from twenty metres out.

Rapid returns to play next week as they travel to face Gaz Metan Mediaş whilst Pandurii Târgu Jiu welcomes Universitatea Craiova.
