BUCHAREST, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Cash-strapped Romanian second
division side CS Buftea paid the price for fielding a side of
teenagers when they were thumped by the astonishing scoreline of
31-0 by third-tier ACS Berceni in a Romanian Cup match.
Buftea celebrated promotion to the second division in May
but a team containing predominantly under-19 players were on the
wrong end of a goal deluge in the fourth preliminary round
match.
Buftea, located 20 km north-west of capital Bucharest,
conceded 19 goals in the second half of Tuesday's match.
Local media reported the loss as a record defeat in Romanian
soccer.
"I'm ashamed to tell you the score," ACS Berceni president
Stephen Stana told local media. "But it's not our fault that
they disregarded the competition."
