Moldova's thrilling win earns League C spot

Moldova's national football team has been promoted to League C of the UEFA Nations League. In their final match, the "tricolori" defeated Andorra 1-0 away.

Virgiliu Postolachi scored the only goal in the 92nd minute. As a result, Moldova accumulated 9 points and won the group.

Virgiliu Postolachi, who would later become the match hero, started a series of missed chances for the "tricolori" (This refers to the national flag, which for many countries is a tricolour, meaning it has three colours) against Iker Álvarez. In the 25th minute, the 24-year-old striker seriously tested the Andorran goalkeeper. Five minutes later, Sergiu Plătică had a chance on a counterattack, but his shot was predictable and straight at the opposing goalkeeper. Ion Nicolăescu missed his first chance in the 44th minute and wasted two great opportunities in the second half. In the 57th minute, "Nico" sent the ball straight into Iker Álvarez's arms, and 10 minutes later, Álvarez made a sensational save with his foot.

Mihail Caimacov could have scored in the 79th minute, but it was Virgiliu Postolachi who delivered the decisive blow in the 92nd minute. He took matters into his own hands, cut inside, and finished with a shot from the edge of the box. This goal marked Postolachi's first for Moldova's national team.

Malta, with 6 points, still have one game to play but cannot overtake Moldova. This is because Moldova has a superior head-to-head record against Malta.

About a hundred localities in the Republic of Moldova do not have access to medicines. "Pharmacy in your village" reached only 47 villages in 2024

In many villages in the Republic of Moldova, access to medicines remains a major problem, due to the lack of pharmacies. Though the authorities launched the "Pharmacy in your village" project, within which they proposed to open 146 state-subsidized pharmacies this year, only 47 were created. So the inhabitants of many villages still have limited access to the necessary treatments, and this situation especially affects the elderly or those with chronic diseases.
