Staring on a brighter note, Concordia opened scoring from a corner kick courtesy of a powerful header from Odibe past Petrolul’s goalkeeper in the 16th minute.
Petrolul had a lot of chances to equalise but spurned them all as Chiajna also missed a spot kick in the 52nd minute of the game.
Chiajna, who are captained by former Nigeria international, Christian Obodo, have now secured another season in the Romanian top-flight.
