Match report

Romania U21 claimed a 3-0 victory against Cyprus in the UEFA U21 Championship Qualification Group Stage on Thursday. The result extends their unbeaten run and moves them further clear in third place. By then Cyprus had already sunk to fifth with only three points from seven matches. I. Vermesan opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 34th minute after a foul inside the box. He added a second goal just before half-time with a composed finish in the 44th minute. N. Koutsoudakis received a yellow card for Cyprus in the 21st minute, but it did little to alter the momentum. K. Ciubotaru completed the scoring in the 89th minute, though the match was already beyond doubt. Romania made several changes after the break, bringing on I. Doicaru and I. Vermesan in the 67th minute. Cyprus also shuffled their side, introducing A. Athanasiou early in the second half. The win keeps Romania in third position with 13 points from seven games. Cyprus remain bottom of the group with one win, no draws and six defeats. The hosts have lost six of their last seven outings, including heavy defeats against Spain and Finland. Romania will make life awkward for the teams above them with this result. They have one foot in the next round if they maintain this form. The match itself was never in doubt after the first half goals, but the third goal confirmed their superiority.
