Rapid București defeats FC Voluntari 2-1 to reach second in SuperLiga

Rapid București secured a 2-1 comeback victory against FC Voluntari in the ninth round of the SuperLiga, moving to second place in the standings, just two points behind leader Dinamo.

Despite the win, Rapid coach Daniel Pancu expressed concerns regarding the team's lack of efficiency in front of the goal and a perceived lack of cohesion. He noted that while the team creates numerous clear chances, they struggle with decisive decision-making in the final third under pressure.

Olimpiu Moruțan played a decisive role in the victory, providing assists for both goals: an own goal by Voluntari's goalkeeper following a header by Mohammed Kamara, and the winning goal scored by Lars Kramer in the 86th minute.

Looking ahead, Rapid is scheduled to play a friendly match against Italian Serie A side Genoa CFC during the upcoming international break. Additionally, the club confirmed it is in discussions to terminate the contract of Swiss goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.
