Zimbru win Chisinau derby

Zimbru Chisinau on Sunday defeated local rivals Dacia 3-1 in a Round 4 match in Divizia Nationala, advancing to the second spot in the premiership standing. Oleg Sischin, Radu Catan and Czech Ales Schuster scored for the victors, as Ghenadie Orbu netted once for the 'Yellow Wolves'. Elsewhere in Divizia Nationala, Sheriff traveled to Suruceni to play St. Gheorge, who held the Tiraspol-based club to a 2-2 draw. This however was enough for Sheriff to keep their lead in the premiership. The encounter between Milsami-Ursidos Orhei and FC Tiraspol ended in a goalless draw, propelling the former one slot up and leaving the latter at the bottom of the premiership. A third draw was registered in Rybnitsa in what seemed to be a reproduction of the latest Moldova Cup final featuring Iskra-Stal and Olimpia Balti. The 'Steelmakers' were the first to score thanks to Gorodetski, but Olimpia eventually equalized thanks to Jude Ogada of Nigeria.
