FCSB secured a crucial 3-2 victory against Qaraba\u011f FK in Baku to climb into the top eight of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) standings. The result ended Qaraba\u011f\u2019s hopes of advancing to the knockout stages and showcased FCSB\u2019s prowess from set pieces, with all three of their goals originating from corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast Start in Baku<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The match began at a blistering pace. Qaraba\u011f wasted no time asserting themselves, taking the lead within 90 seconds. N\u0259riman Axundzad\u0259\u2019s clever setup allowed Leandro Andrade to slice through the FCSB defense and calmly slot past \u0218tefan T\u00e2rnovanu. However, the lead was short-lived. Just five minutes later, Florin T\u0103nase delivered a pinpoint corner, and Adrian \u0218ut\u2019s powerful header brought the visitors level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drama unfolded further in the 10th minute when FCSB were initially awarded a penalty for a foul by Kevin Medina on Daniel B\u00eerligea. However, a VAR review overturned the decision, sparking debates among fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qaraba\u011f’s Response and FCSB’s Resilience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite dominating possession, Qaraba\u011f struggled to create clear chances. It wasn\u2019t until the 40th minute that they regained the lead. Marko Jankovi\u0107\u2019s diagonal pass found Elvin Cafarguliyev, whose low cross led to an own goal by Joyskim Dawa. Yet again, FCSB retaliated swiftly. Another corner, this time in first-half added time, caused chaos in Qaraba\u011f\u2019s box, and David Miculescu capitalized with a sharp finish from a tight angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tension in the Second Half<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second half saw Qaraba\u011f pushing relentlessly. Cafarguliyev\u2019s free-kick narrowly missed the target, fooling parts of the crowd into believing it was a goal. Moments later, the full-back set up a golden opportunity for Oleksiy Kashchuk, but the forward fired over from close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FCSB\u2019s defense stood firm, with Joyskim Dawa redeeming himself with a crucial block to deny Medina. Qaraba\u011f\u2019s inability to convert their dominance into goals proved costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FCSB\u2019s Decisive Blow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With just 16 minutes remaining, FCSB capitalized on another corner. Florin T\u0103nase\u2019s delivery caused havoc, and Adrian \u0218ut\u2019s header squeezed over the line after two deflections. Despite taking a knock in the process, \u0218ut\u2019s determination paid dividends, giving FCSB a hard-fought lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qaraba\u011f failed to find a late equalizer, ending their home UEL campaign with four defeats in four matches. Meanwhile, FCSB extended their unbeaten European run to four games, climbing to sixth in the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implications for FCSB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This victory places FCSB one point clear of ninth, setting the stage for an epic clash with Manchester United in the final group match.
