Austria is the next opponent of Romania in the H qualification group at the World Cup. Sabitzer's national team will come to the National Arena on Sunday, October 12, from 9:45 pm.
Austrian journalists say that Romania's victory in front of Moldova was a deserved one, even though it was obtained at a difference of only one goal.
He points out, however, that this match represented only a training for the Sunday match, which the “tricolors” are obliged to win in order to hope at least in the second place in the group.
The press in Austria, after Romania – Moldova: “He warmed up with a limit victory”
“Our next opponent in the qualifications for the World Cup, Romania, was warmed up for the duel with Austria with a limit, but deserved, against Moldova.
The team of the coach Veteran Mircea Lucescu was imposed in Bucharest by 2-1. Munteanu and Hagi scored for Romania.
Romania dominated the match on the National Arena. The goalkeeper, very little tried, sent the ball in his own gate, under the pressure of the opponent.
The Romanians protested, but the goal was validated. Before the break, Hagi, the son of the legendary Gheorghe Hagi, brought the advantage with a safe shot ”, wrote the Austrians from Sport.orf.at.
The team was available not to lose duels. I had some good phases. I am satisfied. I have greatly reduced the average age, those who played can enter a larger group, not to reach the lack of 3-4 players to create problems.
Eissat convinced me, looks like a mature player, and Ciubotaru.
It has special qualities. Excellent 20 -year -old players. And the middle was fine, and Screciu with Dragomir behaved very well.
– Mircea Lucescu, the Romanian coach
