FCM Ungheni beat Zimbru-2 4:2, the summer's first win over a direct group rival

FCM Ungheni beat FC Zimbru 2 Chișinău 4:2 in a friendly played at home on Friday. This is no lower-tier sparring match: Zimbru-2 play in the same Group A of Liga 1 as Ungheni and will face them three times this autumn. It is the summer's first win, with the best attacking output so far, but also two goals conceded from Zimbru's reserve side. The championship starts in two weeks, on 31 July.

16 pairs of boots, 12 bibs and 2,000 lei: a former player kits out the Măcărești girls and FCM Ungheni's juniors

Eugen Șarpațchii, a name from the town team's squad two decades ago, has given back to the football he grew up in: he donated 16 pairs of boots and 12 training bibs to the girls of Măcărești and 2,000 lei to FCM Ungheni's U11 and U12 groups. This is no donation to a „charity case” — the girls' team of the „Elada” high school in Măcărești reached the national final of the „Speranța” tournament this spring. A former player helping those who come after him, and a village girls' side that already plays in the country's age-group elite.

FCM Ungheni lose 0-1 at Bacău to an own goal — their first test against a Romanian side

The city's club narrowly lost its first pre-season friendly against a team from outside Moldova: 0-1 away to FC Bacău, a Romanian second-division club. The only goal was an own goal by defender Octavian Vatavu after a shot from the hosts. Unlike the matches against Dacia Buiucani and Zimbru, this time Ungheni faced an opponent from their own tier.
