Volei Alba Blaj won the Romanian Cup for the sixth time after defeating Dinamo 3:2 (25:13, 15:25, 25:14, 21:25, 19:17) in an extremely dramatic final that lasted 143 minutes.
Bulgarian international Radostina Marinova played a strong match for Dinamo, finishing with 18 points (+9), and was among the team's main attacking drivers. She took on a significant volume of balls in key moments, especially in the second and fourth sets, when Dinamo managed to set the pace.

Marinova showed stability even in difficult situations, often being sought out during disrupted reception—a role characteristic of a high-level opposite hitter.
The match featured clear periods of dominance in individual sets. Blaj started decisively, but Dinamo responded with better organization in defense and efficiency in counter-attacks.
In these moments, Marinova and Milenko carried the main attacking load, but the lack of consistency in crucial rallies proved key.
The decisive set was the most dramatic. Dinamo took an 8:3 lead, and Marinova continued to be a primary attacking option. However, a series of hesitations allowed Blaj to equalize at 10:10.
In the final phase, Dinamo reached three match points but failed to convert them. It was there that the lack of a decisive hit in the most tense moments was felt, despite the stable contribution of the Bulgarian international.
