Rapid Ghidighici didn’t present itself at the second match of the 2014 national championship either. Victor Ostap’s team was to play against Zimbru on March 9. Under the regulations of the Moldovan Football Federation, the team that does not play two consecutive thatches is relegated to Division B, IPN reports.

Owner Victor Ostap tried to sell Rapid, but unsuccessfully. In winter all the players terminated their contracts with Rapid and signed with other teams.

Two more games of the 21st stage were scheduled for March 9. Milsami beat Academia 3-0, while FC Tiraspol won against Olimpia 1-0. On March 8, Veris drew 1-1 with Costuleni and this draw was fatal for coach Igor Dobrovolski. He was dismissed by the administration of Veris, which does not allow defeats in the European cups.

Elsewhere, Sheriff demolished Dinamo-Auto 6-0, while Dacia defeated Speranta 1-0. In the rankings, Sheriff is an authoritarian leader with 56 points, having by 11 more than FC Tiraspol. Dacia ranks third with 39 points, as Veris.
