Ghanaian midfielder Baba Alhassan emerged as the hero for Hermannstadt after scoring a late match-winner for the club in the Romanian top-flight.
Baba Rahman started and lasted the entire duration as his side inflicted a 2-1 win over UTA at away.
The home team, UTA Arad opened the scoring in the 29th minute from the spot through Postolachi before Baba Alhassan equalized in the 36th minute.
The game seems to have ended in a 1-1 draw but the Ghanaian midfielder weaved his magic again to score the match-winner in additional time.
Despite playing the entire duration, Hermannstadt coach Măldărășanu has revealed he wanted to sub off the Ghanaian player due to fitness issues.
"Baba had a problem during the break, a medical problem, somewhere in the groin, I talked to him and he would tell us that he would signal us if he had a problem. Honestly, I wanted to replace him with Biceanu, when Năstăsie entered”
“But he is a player who believes in himself and also takes individual actions. As long as he didn't signal us, I can't say, the inspiration is divine, I just thought so. But he had a medical problem since the break and I'm glad we didn't change him," said Hermannstadt's coach.
