Zimbru didn’t manage to outstrip Saxan in the rankings. In a match of the 23rd stage of the National Division played in Ciadir Lunga on March 20, the ‘yellow-greens’ were close to winning a victory but the score was tied in the last minute of the game, IPN reports.

Bamba drew in the 93rd minute with a penalty after Amani opened the score at the end of the first half.

“It’s a pity to lose the victory this way. The penalty was dictated after the ball got to a young man who has played his second match for the top team. He played well yet throughout the game,” Zimbru coach Veaceslav Rusnac told a news conference.

“I always believe in my team up to the last minute. My lads showed character,” said the coach of Saxan Vladimir Liutyi.

In another match, Dacia beat Dinamo-Auto 6-2. Also within the 23rd stage of the National Division, FC Tiraspol will play Academia, while Sheriff - Zaria.
