Spicul interrupted the series of 14 consecutive victories of Sheriff-2, which plays in the second tier of Moldovan football. The team trained by Denis Kalinkov won the first match played at the stadium in Chiscareni by 2-1, IPN reports.

Gheiceanu opened the score in the 15th minute, but the team from Tiraspol tied in eight minutes through Kone. The victory goal was scored by Rodrigo Bostan in the 42nd minute with a superb kick from outside the field.

“We played for the first time in Chiscareni and wanted to win. I congratulate all the spectators on this success,” Spicul coach Denis Kalinkov told a news conference.

Spicul has the same score as Sfantul Gheorghe. Both of the teams compete for promotion.

Owing to the unfavorable weather, two matches of the 23rd stage scheduled for April 20 were postponed.
