In the Romanian Cup match held on November 1st, 2023, FC U 1948 Craiova managed to pull through with a victory over SCM Zalau, earning themselves a prestigious 1-0 win. The solitary goal which turned out to be the winner was scored in the 22nd minute of the first half, trimphing them over Zalau.

Despite the low scoring game, it was an intense and evenly matched contest on all fronts, as reflected by the similar numbers in statistics. Both sides forced three corner kicks each, indicating a relatively balanced attacking pressure. Zalau and Craiova were borderline equal when it came to violating the offside rule, with Home team committing it twice, while the Away team did it thrice.

In terms of discipline, it was quite a heated match, characterized by three yellow cards. Craiova, despite the win, were shown two yellow cards – one in the first half (35th minute) and another in the second (81st minute) signaling a more aggressive approach which, while did earn them the only goal of the match, also put them under the referee’s scrutiny more often. Zalau were only booked once in the second half, specifically at the end of the 90 minutes (90th minute). Thankfully, none of the teams had players sent off with a red card, so the game retained a full roster on both sides throughout the match.

In summary, Craiova impressively managed to seize the only opportunity that mattered and defended their lead well to earn a hard-fought victory. Despite the loss, Zalau put up a strong fight demonstrating a balanced game in terms of offense and defence.
