The Romanian football side Sepsi OSK Sfântu Gheorghe won
Romania’s Cup Winners’ Cup after beating CFR Cluj 2-1 in Arad on Saturday. For the
central-Romanian club established in 2011, this was the second trophy won this
year after Romania’s football Cup. The coach of the team, Cristiano Bergodi of
Italy, had already won this trophy in 2007, with Rapid Bucharest.


Adrian Păun of the Cluj side, winners of this year’s
edition of the national championship, was the first to score, the second minute
of the match. Sepsi’s equalizer came via Cosmin Matei, in the first half’s overtime,
and Mario Rondon (Venezuela), who ironically enough had played for CFR Cluj
until the summer of 2021, scored the winning goal for Sepsi on 85 min.


Romania won 9 medals at the European Junion Swimming
Championships held in Otopeni, near Bucharest. Of them, 5 were gold medals, won
by the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team, by David Popovici in the 50m, 100m and
200m freestyle finals and by Vlad Ştefan Stancu, in the 1,500m freestyle race. Silver
medals went to the 4x100m freestyle medley team, to Bianca Costea in the women’s
50m freestyle final and to Vlad Stancu, in the 400m and 800m freestyle races.
Romania thus came 3rd in the nations’ ranking, after Hungary and
Poland.


At the Lucerne Regatta counting for the 3rd
stage of this year’s World Cup, Romanian athletes won 6 medals, of which one
gold, two silver and three bronze. Romania came first in the women’s double
sculls, thanks to Olympic champions Ancuţa Bodnar and Simona Radiş. Romania’s
women’s pairs and women’s four races, as well as the women’s 8 team, won bronze
medals.


In rugby, Romania defeated Uruguay, 30-22 on Sunday,
in a test match in Montevideo. Romania scored 3 tries and 3 conversion kicks,
and was also awarded 3 penalty kicks. Romania had one player, Tudor Butnariu, sent
out of the field on 13 minutes for a reckless tackle. Next Sunday, the 2 teams
will play a second test match, also in Montevideo. (AMP)
