The game was effectively shaped before the interval. Cluj's 1-0 advantage at half-time gave them control of the contest and forced Farul to chase the match after the restart. That early edge proved decisive by full-time.
Farul did respond in the second half, where the teams shared the period 1-1, but Cluj had already done enough. Rather than needing to pull away, the home side protected its lead and made the first-half work stand up over the full 90 minutes.
In summary, this was a result built on game management as much as the score itself. Cluj struck the important balance - getting in front, then avoiding the kind of late swing that can undo a tight match. Farul improved after the break and kept themselves in it, yet the visitors could not overturn the deficit.
The final score leaves FC Universitatea Cluj with the win in this Superliga meeting, while FC Farul Constanta was left to rue the opening half.
