Slatina vs Tunari

Slatina led 2-0 at half-time. Szilard Magyari opened the scoring, before Răzvan Matiș produced a stunning long-range strike — described by Romanian media as a "eurogol" — to double the advantage before the break.

After the interval, the floodgates opened. Rareș Velea made it 3-0, Ionuț Năstăsie added a fourth, then Alexandru Ureche and Abel Stan completed the scoring to make it six different goalscorers from six goals.

Matiș's spectacular long-range goal late in the first half effectively ended the contest. Tunari, already facing a deficit from Magyari's opener, were forced to chase the game after the break against a Slatina side that had dominated the friendly from the opening whistle.

• Răzvan Matiș — the new signing from Ceahlăul scored a sensational long-range goal that was the highlight of the match. His finish was the undoubted standout moment.
• Szilard Magyari — opened the scoring and set the tone for the dominant display.
• Rareș Velea, Ionuț Năstăsie, Alexandru Ureche, Abel Stan — each got on the scoresheet in the second half, reflecting the depth of Slatina's attacking options.

Player of the Match: Răzvan Matiș

Slatina's 6-0 scoreline (2-0 at half-time) tells a story of total dominance. The fact that all six goals came from different scorers — Magyari, Matiș, Velea, Năstăsie, Ureche and Stan — reveals a team with multiple attacking threats rather than reliance on a single striker. The 2-0 half-time lead followed by four second-half goals suggests Slatina's fitness and depth wore down a Tunari side that had been relegated from Liga 2 to Liga 3 at the end of the 2025-26 season.

This was Slatina's final pre-season friendly before the 2026-27 Liga 2 campaign. The Olteni side have had an impressive pre-season programme, having also beaten KF Teuta (Albania, 1-0), Metalul Buzău (4-0), Hebar Pazardzhik (Bulgaria, 3-1), and KF Dukagjini (Kosovo, 2-0) during their training camp in Bansko, Bulgaria. For Tunari, the defeat continues a rebuilding phase after their relegation from the second tier.

Slatina also announced the signing of 23-year-old winger Alexandru Solcan from CD Azuqueca (Tercera Federación, Spain), their 14th signing of the summer transfer window.

A one-sided pre-season workout that told us little about the gap between these sides — Slatina are a settled Liga 2 side at the peak of their preparations, while Tunari are rebuilding after relegation. The spread of goalscorers and Matiș's standout strike were the real takeaways for Slatina ahead of the competitive season.
