CSM Reşiţa advance to Romanian Cup final after Timişul Şag collapse
CSM Reşiţa booked their place in the Romanian Cup final with a 3-1 victory over Timişul Şag at the semi-final stage on Tuesday. The away side took control after Rosu's early opener, then turned the match on its head with three second-half goals. By then, the visitors had already established enough of a lead to make the result secure.
Rosu gave the hosts hope with a 13th-minute strike, but Savija equalised just before the break. Here's the thing — the momentum shifted completely after the interval. Sulaimon restored parity within ten minutes of the restart, and Visic added a fourth in the 82nd minute to seal the victory.
Timişul Şag arrived with decent recent form, including a 3-2 win over Unirea Sântana last weekend. But they couldn't contain a Reşiţa side that had won their last five matches, including a comfortable 2-0 victory against Satu Mare. To be fair, the hosts showed promise early on, but their defence unraveled after the break.
Reşiţa's consistency over the past month has been remarkable. They beat ASA Târgu Mureş 2-1 in mid-August and have maintained this level of performance through the cup run. The Romanian Cup semi-final result puts them one step closer to silverware after their recent successes.
The final whistle confirmed what many anticipated — a comfortable away victory for the visitors. Reşiţa now await the draw for the final, having demonstrated both resilience and attacking quality throughout the match.
