Romanian clubs endure heavy losses in cup matches

In a handball Cup Dunărea fixture, Corona Brașov was overwhelmed by Dunărea Brăila, losing 35‑24 and conceding a total of 71 goals across two matches. Coach Bent Dahl's side failed to mount any effective defense, prompting criticism of the team's lack of counter‑attack capability.

In the football Romanian Cup, Petrolul Berca were eliminated after a 2‑0 defeat to CSO Băicoi. Goals came from early strikes by Lucian Murgoci and later from Vali Lungoci, with CSO Băicoi securing the win through a late counter‑attack. The loss ends Berca's cup run ahead of the upcoming league season.
