Fixtures
counting towards Romanian Cup’s round of 16 on Wednesday provided a new
surprise as Steaua Bucharest was eliminated from the competition conceding
defeat to second-league team CS Mioveni, in the wake of extra time and penalty
shootouts. There was a blank draw on the scoreboard after regular time. Then
the 15-minute halves followed, when CS Mioveni’s Andrei Nila put his team ahead
in minute 95. Then, Steaua’s Vlad Achim drew level 5 minutes from time.

In the
penalty shootouts, of six shots Steaua missed two, while CS Mioveni missed only
one shot. The host team won by 5 goals to 4 and will make headway into the
competition thanks to their aggregate 6-5 win. It is the third
counter-performance running for Steaua in one week alone, as they failed to
qualify for Europa League’s knockout phase this past Thursday and were
denied the top position in the wake of this past weekend’s domestic
championship round.
