FC Sheriff defeated FC Milsami Orhei 3-1 at the Stadionul Sheriff to claim the Moldovan Super Cup for record a sixth time on Lilian Popescu's debut as coach.
Third last season, cup winners Sheriff immediately took the game to Milsami and were two goals up after eight minutes through Juninho Potiguar and Andrei Macrițchii.
The title holders responded when Marcel Metoua felled Romeo Surdu in the area and early substitute Cristian Bud calmly converted the penalty. It did not take Popescu's side long to restore the two-goal margin, Cadu scoring with a header after Mateo Sušić crossed from the right. New Sheriff captain Ricardinho could have made it 4-1 after the break but failed to convert a spot kick he had earned himself.
"It's always nice to start with a win," Popescu said. "We need time for the team to gel, but it was not bad for a first competitive match."
