In the Romanian Cup match-up on December 6, 2023, between SCM Zalau and FC Bihor Oradea, it was the home side that had the edge, with a 2-1 victory. Relatively early goals set the tone for the match, with SCM Zalau's initial goal at 27 minutes and 36 seconds into the first half, further propelling into the lead with the second goal coming at 78 minutes and 40 seconds in the second half. FC Bihor Oradea showed spirited sign of resistance with a goal at 88 minutes and 53 seconds, but it proved to be too little too late.

Despite the home team's victory, a striking part of the match statistics is the disproportionate number of yellow cards against SCM Zalau. They accrued a substantial 8 yellow cards, whereas FC Bihor Oradea had 2. An aggressive playing style by the home team could have potentially exposed them to the risk of losing a player to a red card or giving away penalty opportunities.

However, the more disciplined Bihor Oradea seemed unable to convert their advantage in discipline into clear goal opportunities, a failing highlight by their inability to convert their dominating 10 corner kicks into goals. In contrast, Zalau was able to turn their aggression into a more targeted attack, producing their 2 goals from only 3 corners. Efficiency was indeed the friend of Zalau on this occasion.

Moreover, it's impossible to ignore SCM Zalau's crafty offensive plan, catching FC Bihor Oradea offside 6 times. The figure points to a systemic strategy from Zalau who may have crafted their defense lines to initiate offside traps. On the flip side, it denotes a lack of synchronicity in the offensive movements of Bihor Oradea, as they failed to breach Zalau's line in a timed manner throughout the match.

To summarize, the game was won by a SCM Zalau display of efficiency in scoring, aggressive defense, and tactical offside traps, demonstrating that even if a team is disciplined and gets more corner opportunities like FC Bihor Oradea did, it can be outdone by powerful attack and a filmmaker's sense of timing.
