Happy days for Bucureşti in their previous game, a Liga 1 match away at CSM Iasi that ended with a 2-1 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Viitorul and winning 2-1.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Uhrin Jr. when Jonathan Morsay scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

The records show 1-6-8 (win-draw-lose). It could be a hat trick of victories away for Hermannstadt, as they have won on their previous two travels.
