Argeş had fun at their own home (Stadionul Anghel Iordanescu) last time out, beating SSC Farul 2-1. Jafar Arias and Diogo Viana scored. Diogo Viana came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against SSC Farul last time out, making the manager M. Ianovschi feel like a tactical genius.
