Romania vs Wales

Romania edged a feisty Bucharest friendly, beating Wales 2-1 thanks to a late winner that tested the nerves of the home crowd. Adrian Rus proved the hero, finishing in the 80th minute to secure the points after Wales had battled back to level. Romania opened the scoring through Florinel Coman in the 52nd minute, only for David Brooks to equalise for Wales in the 63rd. The second half grew increasingly combative, Brooks himself was booked in the 79th minute, moments before Romania's decisive goal, and both teams collected a handful of yellows, though no one was dismissed and no penalties were awarded. The win continues a positive run for Romania on home soil, offering a timely lift after a midweek draw in Georgia. For Wales, who entered this game winless in three, it is another dent to confidence and the visitors must find their form quickly heading into the summer.
