National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Mostiştea Ulmu or Dunărea Călăraşi that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Mostiştea nor Dunărea Călăraşi as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
