The Romanian Champions have qualified in the Romanian Cup quarter-finals after a thriller of a match against FCM Tg. Mureş. The 0-0 score at half-time was followed by a very active second half. Gabriel Paraschiv, in an excellent shape, scored first, then Daniel Subotic brought the equalizer and the last minutes of the game can be used as stories for our grandchildren. Ionuţ Neagu obtained a penalty kick, which Liviu Antal tried to score but he only hit the bar, then Marius Pena recovered the ball and sent a cross. It was a crazy goal following this electrifying phase: Antal sent the ball in the net with a sensational bicycle shot, making it 2-1! FC Oţelul Galaţi qualify for the next round, but the echoes of this magnificent execution can not stop so quickly. It was an ANThALogical goal!
