FC Bihor – FCSB 0-2, in the groups of the Romanian Cup

With a team formula without many players in the starting line-up, but with newcomer Cristi Ganya and the young Gogescu on the field, FCSB were not used much in the match in Oradea.

Under the supervision of former coach Emerich Iena, David Mikulescu opened the scoring in the 26th minute, executing a return kick from inside the penalty area.

Supported by a large number of spectators who packed the stadium, the home team missed two opportunities through Jürz and Ban.

The turning point came in the 69th minute after African Siyabonga Ngezana’s first goal for FCSB, who headed home from a Darius Olaru corner.
