In a commanding performance, U Cluj defeated Oțelul Galați 4-0, ensuring their place in the playoff. Issouf Macalou opened the scoring with a stunning shot, contributing significantly to the team’s success.

Issouf Macalou shines in U Cluj’s victory

Issouf Macalou, the Ivorian winger, played a pivotal role in U Cluj’s victory, scoring the first goal of the match. His exceptional skills on the field have not gone unnoticed, as he has been a topic of discussion for potential transfers.

Despite interest from FCSB’s Gigi Becali, U Cluj’s president Mihai Stoica opposed the move. Macalou’s performance has been impressive, with five goals and eight assists in the current league season.
