Moldova round-up: Zimbru denied by Barbros

An added-time equaliser by Ruslan Barbros earned the Divizia Nationala champions FC Sheriff Tiraspol a point at FC Zimbru Chisinau.

Sheriff avoid defeat
Iurie Osipeco's ninth-minute penalty looked to have secured all three points for Zimbru before Barbros struck to prevent what would have been only Sheriff's second league defeat of the season.

Ianchuck hat-trick
The result means that third-placed Zimbru are now six points behind FC Nistru Otaci in second place after a Serghei Ianchuk hat-trick guided Nistru to a 6-0 win over relegated FC Happy End Camenca. Alexandr Blajco. Nicolai Mincev and Anatolii Podgaetchii also found the target for Nistru.

Saico boosts Agro
In the battle to avoid joining Happy End in the drop, FC Agro Chisinau opened up a three-point gap over FC Tiligul Tiraspol after Evghenii Saico's penalty in added time beat FC Hincesti 1-0. Tiligul, meanwhile, slumped to a 1-0 defeat at FC Constructorul-93 Cioburciu with the only goal of the game coming from Evghenie Carabulea in the 15th minute.
