CSM Dunarea Giurgiu edged CSM Cetatea Turnu Magurele 2-1 in the Romanian Cup. The visitors struck first at 00:15:33, before Giurgiu hit back with a 00:52:27 equaliser and then secured the win at 01:03:42.

Giurgiu’s attacking pressure is evident in the corner data, earning five corners to Turnu Magurele’s two. The volume of set-piece opportunities helped sustain the home side’s momentum and created the delivering platform for the late winner.

Defensive discipline and physicality shaped the middle and late phases, with Giurgiu committing 16 fouls to Turnu Magurele’s 7. The distribution of cards—one Giurgiu yellow and two Turnu Magurele yellows, all in the second half—suggests a combative block from both sides around the hour mark.

Turnu Magurele faced more offside opportunities, with three calls to Giurgiu’s two, hinting at more frequent runs behind the line but less successful timing. The mismatch in fouls and the higher corner count for Giurgiu point to a tactical shift in the second half, where persistent pressure and width translated into the decisive breakthrough.

From a tactical standpoint, Giurgiu’s approach implied a heavier focus on direct contribution from wide areas and set-piece planning, culminating in the late-goal sequence. The visitors’ early lead was undone by Giurgiu’s sustained pressure and numerical balance after the 48th-minute carding, which coincided with the hosts' ascendancy and the eventual winner. Substitution data is not provided, so the assessment centers on the recorded minutes and event flows.
