Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Romania kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Nicolae Stanciu has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' Alexandru Chipciu is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for France so far.
  • 25' The travelling Romania supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Adil Rami made 465 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Vlad Chiriches on 32 minutes.
  • 37' With 0 assists to his name this season, Adrian Popa is clearly more than just a goal scorer for France.
  • 42' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 45' Razvan Rat is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 50' It’s high time Anghel Iordanescu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 55' France is showing some good football. However, France are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 58' The France Olivier Giroud breaks the deadlock on 58 minutes. 1-0!
  • 61' Denis Alibec is replacing Florin Andone for the Romania side.
  • 65' GOAL! Bogdan Stancu scores on 65.
  • 66' A tactical swap from France — Kingsley Coman on, Antoine Griezmann off on 66 minutes.
  • 69' Olivier Giroud has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 69.
  • 72' Another substitution for Romania to replace Nicolae Stanciu by Alexandru Chipciu on 72 minute.
  • 77' Anthony Martial is replacing Paul Pogba for the France side.
  • 78' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Adrian Popa.
  • 82' A tactical swap from Romania — Gabriel Torje on, Adrian Popa off on 82 minutes.
  • 87' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 89' Against the run of play, Dimitri Payet has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 90' Fresh legs for France! Moussa Sissoko comes on to replace Dimitri Payet.
  • It finishes all square. France and Romania share the spoils 2-1.
