Horațiu Moldovan, Romanian international, former starting goalkeeper of the Romanian national team, is once again playing match after match, currently on loan at Sassuolo, a Serie B team.
The team in green and black secured a 1-0 victory on Saturday in the second league, away at Cosenza, marking the second consecutive match for the Romanian between the posts of his new team, also the second match in a row without conceding a goal.
The former Rapid player saved all 5 shots on target by the hosts, also benefiting from luck with Mazzocchi hitting the crossbar. The Italians then rushed to praise the Romanian, who came from Atletico Madrid, giving him a 7 rating, which was only matched by the home team goalkeeper, Micai: "The goalkeepers stood out today. Cosenza appeared in attack a few times, and when they did, and the crossbar didn't save them, Moldovan took care of it. The save in the last play (note - against Rizzo Pinna) was worth every penny!", wrote those at TuttoMercatoWeb.
Furthermore, the Sassuolo News also analyzed Moldovan's performance: "A few mistakes with the ball at his feet and a reckless rush out to the edge of the box, which fortunately had no consequences, but he redeemed himself (the goal-scoring play started from his clearance). In short, some uncertainty, but present between the posts. Extraordinary in the 97th minute, against Rizzo Pinna's shot."
In the previous match where Moldovan played, Sassuolo won 2-0 against Carrarese. Once again, Horațiu Moldovan perfectly secured the goal.
