Match overview
Already qualified Romania fielded several reserves and paid for a sluggish first half when Souayah converted a penalty. The Tricolours rallied after the break and Moldovan, on for Dumitrescu, stabbed home Hagi’s pass to preserve Romania’s unbeaten record.
Trivia
Romania became the first side since Brazil 1970 to finish a World-Cup group with identical results (two wins, one draw) at two consecutive tournaments (1994, 1998).
