Azerbaijan 0 Romania 1, March 31st 1999
First Published: Mar 31, 1999Romania stuttered to a narrow win over unfancied Azerbaijan.
They are now secure in a fight for supremacy with Portugal after this win and they know they can play better than this scrappy effort.
A dull first half ended with the Azeris still well in contention but a goalkeeping error took the game away from them. In the 49th minute Petru headed the ball in from close range after the goalkeeper failed to cut out a Filipescu high cross.
