Csikszereda's representatives They accepted the request of CFR Cluj to postpone the match in the 5th round of Superliga, in order to have more time to prepare the return with Braga, from round 3 Europa League. Robert Ilyes (51 years old), the “Ciucanilor” coach, commented on the decision made by the chiefs of Miercurea Ciuc.

Csikszereda – CFR Cluj should have been played on August 10, between the Tour (August 7) and Return (August 14) with Braga, but the people of Cluj received the opponents to postpone this match and to reschedule for October 16, when the national teams matches are scheduled.
