Wednesday saw 10 games. Trophy holder FC Voluntari was eliminated by
the second league leader AFC Hermannstadt 1-0 in the injury-time. In a game
opposing two second-leaguers, CS Afumati thrashed UTA Arad 5-2, while in
Slobozia, third-leaguer Unirea secured a 4-0 win against ASA Targu Mures, from
the second football league. Clinceni, a town close to Bucharest, hosted a game
between two second leaguers, in which local side Academica conceded a 1-0
defeat to Chindia Targoviste. Gaz Metan Medias, from the first football league,
obtained a 2-1 win against Metaloglobus, from the second football league, while
first-leaguer Juventus Bucharest outperformed Dacia Unirea of Braila 2-1.

Romania’s champions Viitorul Constanta scored four times in Resita, central
Romania against the local Municipal School Sports Club, which fired home only
twice. Two sides from Romania’s first football league met in Chiajna, close to
Bucharest: local side Concordia and Astra, with the latter eventually claiming
the match, 3-0. Two local sides clashed in Timisoara, western Romania: Politehnica,
from the second league, took on first-leaguer Poli in a match won by the latter
1-0. In the day’s last game in Cluj, also in western Romania, local squad
Sanatatea was up against FCSB in a match that ended 6-1 to the latter.

The leg’s two matches are
due on Thursday, with FC Botosani taking on CFR Cluj and Aerostar Bacau, from
the second league, playing against Dinamo Bucharest. (translated by Daniel Bilt)
