The decision comes in the context in which the Bistrita people did not win any of the first 5 of the Liga 2 season, and on Saturday gave in front of Concordia Chiajna, 0-2. There was also a failure with Poli Iași, 0-3, otherwise equal to CSM Slatina (0-0), CS Afumați (1-1) and CS Tunari (2-2).
Instead, Pustai qualified Gloria in the Romanian Cup groups, after victories with VSK Gyergyo, respectively CSO Băicoi.
