In the Romanian Cup match between CSA Steaua Bucuresti and FC Universitatea Cluj, FC Universitatea Cluj emerged victorious with a 3-1 win. The scoring began early on, with FC Universitatea Cluj scoring their first goal during the 26th minute, and notching a second goal as quick as the 34th minute. The first half ended with FC Universitatea Cluj leading 2-0.

Interestingly, despite trailing behind in goals, CSA Steaua Bucuresti appeared to dominate the corner kicks statistics with 7, compared to FC Universitatea Cluj's 4. However, their 3 offsides and an unusually high count of 4 yellow cards may have disrupted their flow of play and ability to capitalise on these corner kick opportunities. This suggests a lack of discipline from CSA Steaua Bucuresti, which possibly attributed to their downfall.

On top of that, FC Universitatea Cluj managed to keep themselves disciplined, accumulating only 2 yellow cards throughout the game, both of which were given in the second half. Their offence also proved to be more efficient, not catching a single offside during the match, which evidenced their strategic play and well-timed runs. This level of discipline allowed FC Universitatea Cluj to maintain a defensive structure even though they were the away team, thus enabling them to limit CSA Steaua Bucuresti to a single goal.

The second half remained relatively eventful, with FC Universitatea Cluj scoring a third goal early on in the 53rd minute furthering their lead. CSA Steaua Bucuresti did manage to get a goal back in the 65th minute; however, it was too little too late, as the match ended in a 3-1 win for FC Universitatea Cluj.

In conclusion, despite CSA Steaua Bucuresti's edge in corner kicks, FC Universitatea Cluj's greater discipline and efficient offence proved decisive. The match demonstrates that while possession opportunities like corner kicks matter, they must be paired with discipline and efficient conversion for victory.
