The decision to qualify in Group A was made on Saturday evening. Because of Romania’s victory over Israel (in Hungary), both Romania and Switzerland were guaranteed to win the European Championship. In a joint match on Tuesday, they can determine who will be the group winner.
Israel needed a win tonight to stay in contention for the European Championship. Because of the war they had to move to Hungary. A draw was enough for Romania to be present next summer.
The “home team” did not waste any time and took the lead after only 3 minutes through top scorer Zahavi. However, he was unable to enjoy his goal for long, and Puskas soon equalised.
In the end it was an old acquaintance, Ianis Hagi, who made the decision. He made it 1-2, and despite Mihaela’s red card, Romania were no longer in trouble.
Because of the Israeli loss, Switzerland also confirmed its qualification, and the Swiss themselves did not get more than a draw at home against Kosovo.
Next Tuesday, Romania and Switzerland will play an exchange match to determine the group leader.
