Match Report

|
A debut goal from Newcastle
midfielder Robert Lee gave England a draw they hardly deserved against a
Romanian team that continued in the bright fashion that made them one of
the outstanding sides in World Cup 94. England could not match the
procession of precise passes with which the Romanians dictated and
decorated the game, and it might well have been the first defeat of the
Terry Venables reign had they been more positive in the penalty area.
Matthew Le Tissier, the idol of Southampton, was given a full ninety
minutes for a change but was still unable to produce his electric club
form.
