Zimbru didn’t manage to avoid the last but one position in the National Division. The team trained by Iurie Osipennco lost away to Speranta Nisporeni 0-1 in the fifth stage, IPN reports.

The only goal was scored by Viorel Primac in the 62nd minute. Speranta had two more great occasions for scoring, but the bar every time saved goalkeeper Ilie Cebanu. ”We dominated this game. It is a deserved victory. For us, each match is like a final,” Speranta coach Cristian Efros told a news conference.

“We experience problems in the team. I refer to the indifference of some of the players,” said the coach of Zimbru Iurie Osipenco.

In another match of the fifth stage, Sfantul Gheorghe defeated Spicul Chiscareni 4-3. The other matches were scheduled for August 5. Zaria meets Dacia, Milsami - Petrocub, while Sheriff - Dinamo-Auto.
