Romanian ice-hockey
team Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc on Sunday won the Erste Liga regional competition.
Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc emerged as winners of the trophy for the second year
running, having secured a 4-1 win in the final against Ferencvaros Budapest. In
the fifth game of the final, which actually decided Sport Club’s winning of the
trophy, the latter team grabbed a 5-3 home win against their Hungarian challengers.
Having played the final for the fourth consecutive year, Sport Club won the
trophy twice, in 2011 and 2021. In 2020, then the Erste Liga’s finalists, Sport
Club Miercurea Ciuc and Ferencvaros Budapest were both pronounced champions
because of the Covid-19 crisis. In 2019, Ferencvaros Budapest won the final
against Sport Club Miercurea Ciuc, 4-1.


CFR Cluj football
team have lost their first domestic championship fixture in the last six months.
Top-of-the-table CFR this past Sunday sustained a 2-3 away defeat by Universitatea
Craiova. The game counted as a fourth-round fixture in Group 1. Universitatea
Craiova’s Alexandru Creţu on 18 minutes drew first blood on the pitch. On 43
minutes, CFR’s Mihai Bordeianu provided the equalizer. Then 12 minutes into the
second half, CFR took the lead thanks to Claudiu Petrila’s goal. Universitatea
Craiova’s Jovan Markovic levelled the score on 69 minutes. A couple of seconds
from time, Universitatea’s Croat footballer, Ante Roguljic, put his team into
the lead and sealed the fate of the game. We recall that in Bucharest, in the
previous round, Universitatea Craiova secured a 2-nil away win against
runner-up team FCSB. Also in Group 1, on Saturday, in Pitesti, in the south,
Farul Constanta secured a 2-nil away win against the local team FC Arges. CFR
Cluj are still at the top pf the table, with 45 points. Following are FCSB,
with 37, and Universitatea Craiova, with 36 points.




In
Group 2, on Friday, in Clinceni, Chindia Târgovişte secured a 3-nil away win
against local side Academica. In Bucharest, FC U Craiova outclassed Dinamo, 2-1.
On Saturday in Arad, in the west, Rapid Bucharest secured
a 2-nil away win against local side UTA. On Sunday, FC Botoşani sustained a
nil-1 home defeat by Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe. Rapid Bucharest are at the top of
the table, with cu 32 points. Following are Sepsi, with 30, and FC Botoşani,
with 29 points. With a minus of 13 points, bottom-of-the-table team Gaz Metan Medias
stands no chance to avoid relegation, and so is Academica Clinceni, with a mere
3 points on its record sheet. As of late, both teams have been repeatedly
downgraded because of unpaid debts. In another move, three teams are trying
really hard to avoid the two positions that take them to the playoffs. They are
Dinamo, with 13 points, CS Mioveni, with 19, and Chindia Târgovişte, with 22 points.
