Setback: Muniru's Cluj lose 0-1 in Belarus
Sulley Ali Muniru battled all night long as his CFR Cluj huffed and puffed without success as they suffered a setback on the road after losing the first leg of their UEFA Europa League 3rd qualifying round tie away to Dinamo Minsk.
Muniru's side must now overturn the 1-0 result in next week's second leg in Romania to grab one of the tickets available to the final play-off round as the group phase of the 2014/15 Europa League beckons ever closely.
Serbian striker, Nenad Adamovic's solitary strike after 54 minutes proved decisive at the Borisov Arena in Borisov as the Belarussian side put themselves in a good position in the two-legged tie.
Muniru and his Cluj teammates travel to face Panduri Targu Jiu on Sunday in a Romania Liga I match day 2 fixture ahead of the second leg against Minsk.
Cluj romped to a comprehensive 4-0 win over Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt on the opening weekend of the 2014/15 Romanian top flight campaign last Sunday.
