Timișul Șag advances to second round of Romanian Cup after 1-0 win over Progresul Pecica

On 29 July 2026, CSM Timișul Șag, coached by Iulian Muntean, secured a 1‑0 victory over ACS Progresul Pecica in the second‑tier Cupa României match. Denis Boariu scored the decisive goal in the first half, ensuring the team’s progression to the next round and averting the club’s possible disappearance from Liga III.

The win sets up a clash on 5 August, when Unirea Sântana travels to Șag for the second‑round tie. Unirea, the only Arad‑County side to reach this stage, had previously defeated Progresul Pecica 1‑0 and advanced past Viitorul Arad Cermei with a 4‑0 win. Both clubs now compete for a place in the third round of the national cup.
