Thursday lost 1-2 to Spain on home turf in a match counting towards the 2020

penalty kick. Halftime statistics indicated that Spain had 8 shots on goal,
with none for Romania. On minute 47 Paco Alcacer made it 2-nil for Spain, sending
a superb cross from Alba into the back of the net. Florin Andone scored for
Romania on minute 5, with a superb header from the penalty box. The Romanian
