Bacău Comfortably Through to Final After Viitorul Curcica Defeat
Bacău secured their place in the Romanian Cup final with a 3-0 victory over Viitorul Curcica in the semi-finals on 12 August 2026. The away side completed a straightforward progression through the last four, leaving the hosts to reflect on a second consecutive defeat.
Viitorul Curcica had entered the fixture with momentum from their recent run of results. They had won three of their previous five matches, including victories over Ajudeț and Aerostar Bacău, before suffering a 2-3 loss to Voica Kudalbi in July 2024. The semi-final result ended that form abruptly.
Bacău came into the match with mixed recent results. Their last five outings showed inconsistency: a heavy 4-0 win against Târgu Secuiesc, a narrow 0-1 defeat to Gloria Bistrița, and a 1-3 loss to Oțelul. The semi-final performance suggested they had found clarity where they had previously lacked it.
The scoreline told a simple story without requiring further elaboration. Three goals separated the two sides, and Viitorul Curcica had nothing to show for their efforts at home. The hosts had not managed to trouble their opponents enough to make the tie competitive.
The result means Bacău now advance to the final, while Viitorul Curcica's campaign comes to an end. For the visitors, the semi-final victory provides an opportunity to complete their season with a trophy, something they have not achieved in recent memory.
