This spirited Romanian Cup - Women match between AFC Universitatea Olimpia Cluj (Women) and AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc (Women) ended in an eagerly contested 3-2 victory for the home side.

From the onset, it was evident that AFC Universitatea Olimpia Cluj was the more forward-thinking side. They scored their goals in the 17th, 31st & 49th minutes, showing their determination and ability to penetrate the defence of AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc and maintain the lead despite conceding early in the match.

However, AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc struck quickly, with a surprise goal in the 7th minute, putting them in a fleeting lead. They continued to push and eventually managed a second goal late in the second period, unfortunately, they couldn't find the equalising goal.

Disciplinary issues were dispersed across both halves, mainly for the home side with two yellow cards, one in each half, and a solitary yellow card for the away team late in the second half. The first yellow card for AFC Universitatea Olimpia Cluj in the 39th minute could've disrupted their rhythm but it didn't impact the team negatively as they went on to score their third goal in the 50th minute.

Corner kicks were almost evenly distributed with the away side edging out by one more corner kick, concluding the game with 7 compared to the home side's 6. Nonetheless, the superior effectiveness of Cluj can be demonstrated by the translation of these set pieces into goals. This data suggests a better conversion rate for the home side even with fewer opportunities, indicating significant preparation and execution during training in these areas.

A glaring statistic in the match was the offsides calls. AFC Universitatea Olimpia Cluj was flagged offside 5 times, hinting at their aggressive approach in an intent to score more goals. On the contrary, no offside was called against AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc, which suggests a more cautious attack plan or a well-disciplined forward line.

In conclusion, despite being more disciplined and cautious in their attacking approach, AFK Csikszereda Miercurea Ciuc was unable to match the opportunistic and aggressive game strategy of AFC Universitatea Olimpia Cluj. The home side's ability to convert their goal-scoring opportunities and weather disciplinary hiccups brought about the difference in the game.
