Zimbru and Dacia-Buiucani win as financial crisis hits Moldovan football
Zimbru Chisinau defeated CSF Balti 3-0 at home during the second round of the Moldovan Super Liga.
Curaçao international Rayvien Rosario opened the scoring for the hosts late in the first half. Brazil's Jonathas Conceicao doubled the advantage immediately after the interval.
Stefan Bitca, who rejoined Zimbru this summer, sealed the 3-0 victory with a late goal.

Vasile Dumbrava added a third goal in the second half to set the final score.
