The Romanian Cup final opposed unlikely teams – the champions vs 2nd placed Second Division team.
FC Baia Mare was not even potential second division winner – they were distant 2nd in Seria I – but performed wonderfully in the Cup. Facing the strongest team in the country looked hopeless, but Baia Mare put excellent fight and lost only 2-3. Unfortunate, but as a consolation got a spot in the Cup Winners Cup.
A double for Dinamo (Bucharest). Excellent season, full of players responsible for the revival of Romanian football. So far – only on the domestic front, but seasons like that are cherished by any kind of club. The team showed lots of character – neither win came easy, but the boys prevailed in both championship and Cup.
