Romania drew with Northern Ireland, scoring 1-1, in the sixth round of the Nations League groups and moving up to the second ballot box for the World Championship preliminaries draw.
Mirel Rădoi’s tricolor trembled seriously in Ireland. The hosts opened the scoring in the 56th minute and Romania could not find their way to an equalizer.
Eric Bicfalvi’s coach was very happy with the way the game was developing, but still wanted to make a change to the line-up.
The FC Ural footballer equalized in the 81st minute, following a perfect cross from Florin Tănase and a nice combination of the FCSB captain with Răzvan Marin.
Following this result and a Serbia win, 5-0 against Russia, Romania climbs to the second ballot box for the World Championship preliminaries draw.
