Futsal Round 15 Results: ASET win another rivalry
ASET Chisinau defeated 4-1 their local rivals Tornado Chisinau in a Round 15 match in Moldova Futsal Championship, Info-Prim Neo reports.
The victory was a surprise for many. Current champions Tornado were regarded as the favorites of the fixture, especially since in the previous round a scandal had erupted in the opposite side between the squad and the club. ASET, which had failed to pay wages to the team, was eventually forced to field reserve players, and suffer a shameful defeat, 2-12, from Sokol Tiraspol.
The latest victory has retained the leading spot for ASET, but the club's financial woes make this position uncertain.
Meanwhile, another Chisinau-based club, JLC Chisinau, enhanced their championship aspiration by defeating Sokol Tiraspol, 10-2, and climbing on the second spot in the standings.
Minnows ELAN were defeated at home by Lexmax, 0-6.
Round 15 Standings: 1st. ASET – 32 points; 2nd. JLC – 29 points; 3rd. Tornado – 28 points; 4th. Lexmax – 17 points; 5th. Sokol – 13 points; 6th. ELAN – 9 points.
