Note: during this series, Steaua also played 15 matches for the domestic
cup, 5 each in 1986/87, 1987/88, and 1988/89, winning all 15 and thereby
establishing a series of 119 competitive domestic matches without defeat.

The fifteen cup matches:

1986/87  1     1/ 3/87  away Gloria Bistrita           5-3
         2    27/ 5/87  away ICIM Brasov               2-0
         3    16/ 6/87   --  Rapid Bucuresti           1-0 [in Bucuresti]
         4    23/ 6/87   --  FCM Brasov                4-0 [in Pitesti]
         5    28/ 6/87   --  Dinamo Bucuresti          1-0 [in Bucuresti]

1987/88  6    27/ 2/88  away Vointa Bucuresti          3-0
         7    10/ 4/88  away Maramures Baia Mare       3-1
         8     5/ 6/88   --  Universitatea Craiova     2-1 [in Ploiesti]
         9    15/ 6/88   --  Sportul Studentesc        3-1 [in Bucuresti]
        10    26/ 6/88   --  Dinamo Bucuresti          2-1 [in Bucuresti] [*]

1988/89 11    22/ 2/89  away Pandurii Tîrgu Jiu        3-0
        12     8/ 6/89   --  FCM Brasov                6-3 [in Pitesti]
        13    22/ 6/89   --  Unirea Slobozia           3-1 [in Constanta]
        14    25/ 6/89   --  Rapid Bucuresti           3-2 [in Bucuresti]
        15    29/ 6/89   --  Dinamo Bucuresti          1-0 [in Bucuresti]

[*] this was the infamous "walk out" final, Steaua leaving the pitch after
    their goal for 2-1 had been disallowed; later the Romanian FA awarded
    the match 2-1 to Steaua and their win remains in the records although
    Steaua handed the cup to Dinamo after the 1989 revolution.

When including the cup wins, the last domestic defeat of Steaua before the
start of their series is the cup final of 1985/86:

1985/86  -    25/ 6/86   --  Dinamo Bucuresti          0-1
