summary

OSK Sepsi reached their third Romanian Cup final in four years, with Székelyföld knocking out the champions in the semi-finals on Wednesday with two penalties.

Even in the hall it was evident which team this meeting was more important to: barely a dozen guests looked at each other with nearly six thousand Szentgyörgyi. And although Dan Petrescu, coach of the Cluj-Napoca team, who was on his way to the championship, did not make any reserves, his team entered the field very unmotivated.

In the first half, Sepsi sent the heroes out of the field with their own weapons: after a fierce attack, they surprised the Cluj-Napoca defense, especially the right side, with a quick rush.

And the home goal came from a cornerback variation, also considered a CFR major, Dennis Ciobutario’s advanced ball Nikolai Bowen Shake it into the grate from near the right column.

And Sepsi, who gained the advantage, stopped the visitors’ attacks without any creativity without any special efforts, and scored from an attack that continued until the second strike: Andres Dumitrescu’s back header from the left. Marius Stefanescu Cut it off at the long bottom.

A completely baffled CFR came close to a complete knockout before the break when Pavol Safranco rolled Andre Borca, The defender of the Romanian national team stopped the attacker with a red card. From the penalty spot, Mates only hit the post, but Petrescu showed he didn’t believe in translation by substituting four wingers during the break.

CFR goalkeeper Simon Skovet delayed the third home goal with three feats and also saved Marius Stefanescu’s penalty, but from the rebound. Mario Rondo He actually scored – and in the end even Roland Varga, who had recovered from his injury, was able to return to the field. 3-0

On the other hand, Universitatea of ​​Cluj and Utah will play Arad on Thursday for a place in the final. The final will be held on May 24 in the metropolitan city of Sibiu.

Székelyföld’s goal was to defend the trophy they won last year, and this is now the only way for Sepsi to participate in the European Cup again. Coach Cristiano Bergodi rested some of his regular players for Friday’s championship game against Universitatea Craiova: In addition to the suspended Branislav Ninaj, Alexandru Tudorie did not play, and others got less playing time than usual.

In the quarter-finals of the Romanian Football Cup, Sepsi OSK beat Mioveni 4-1 at home.
