Match Report

A
controversial penalty decided this game in the seventy fifth minute and
dealt a severe blow to England's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup
finals. Kenny Sansom angrily protested his innocence after his tackle on
Iordanescu had been ruled a foul. The Romanian picked himself up and
scored the winning goal from the penalty spot. England had just been
getting on top after Tony Woodcock scored in the sixty-sixth minute
following a neat exchange of passes with Garry Birtles. Romania had their
best moments in the first-half and scored at the peak of their pressure
through Raducanu in the thirty-sixth minute.
