Viitorul Curtea de Argeș defeated Aérostar Bacău 1-0 in the Romanian Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday evening. The away side secured their progression to the semi-finals with a narrow victory at the Aérostar ground.
The match carried immediate weight given the teams' history. Viitorul had beaten Aérostar 1-0 in their last encounter on July 30, 2025 — a result that clearly carried into this knockout tie. The hosts came in having won their most recent game 3-1 against Vaslui, but could not find a way through.
Without a goal in return, Aérostar's attacking efforts went unanswered. The visitors held firm and took all three points from the tie, moving one step closer to the final.
The result eliminates Aérostar from the competition while extending Viitorul's cup campaign. The quarter-final exit leaves the hosts with a record of one win, one draw and three defeats across their last five fixtures.
