Steaua defeated last night Vasas Budapesta with 2-0 in a match in which it used two different systems. The first 45 minutes was a total fiasco, but in the second half, with Tănase in a great shape, Steaua dominated and played at a very high level

Baciu started the match with a big mistake, passing straight to the adversary, but Tătăruşanu avoided the goal. Then it was transformed in a pole by a forward, but Steaua got away with it again.

Andrei Ionescu played probably for the first time as forward on the right side, while Stancu and Surdu struggled in vain, because they didn’t posses the object of their work and they also seemed to be discomfortable of the position they had.

3. Only
