Match overview
Clinical first-half finishes from Totti and Inzaghi settled a one-sided quarter-final. Romania’s faint hopes vanished when the talismanic Hagi collected two bookings in 21 minutes and departed on the hour, allowing Italy to cruise into a semi-final with the Netherlands.
Trivia
Hagi’s red card brought an abrupt end to the “Maradona of the Carpathians”’ international career after 124 caps.
