Rapid București has secured consecutive away victories in the Romanian SuperLiga. In late August, the club defeated Petrolul Ploiești 2-0, though the match raised medical concerns regarding defender Graovac, who was suspected of a “ligament rupture.”

In early September, Rapid București achieved a 1-0 victory against Oțelul Galați via a stoppage-time header by Alexandru Pașcanu in the 90+4 minute. The match, which saw Oțelul playing with ten men following a red card in the 78th minute, marks Rapid's first win in Galați in nearly 20 years. Following this win, Rapid București moved to second place in the league standings.

Rapid coach Daniel Pancu expressed satisfaction with the team's resilience despite a sluggish first half. Meanwhile, club official Victor Angelescu indicated that a player departure might occur soon to facilitate more playing time for others.
