First Half:
I only saw the second half so my first half report is based on what I read.
Holland dominated most of the first half through Kluivert, Overmars and Bergkamp. They created some good chances that they either missed or were saved by Lobont. The lone goal of the first half came from Overmars in the 43rd minute.
Second Half:
In the second half Romania came on. They started to create chances. However, the Dutch struck first through Kluivert who received a nice through ball, evaded a slow footed Popescu and dribbled Lobont to score in the 68th minute. In the 80th minute Hagi struck a freekick which was defelected by Moldovan into the Dutch net. His 20th goal for Romania. After that Romania had 2 great chances both of them set up by Hagi and both missed by Ganea. One chance Ganea was point blank with the Van Der Sar, but he just missed the net... very very dissapointing
The second one was similar, but Van Der Sar made a great save. Later on Hagi sent a curling free kick which was nicely saved by Van der Sar.
Overall: A good game from Romania and Holland. Both teams blew huge chances. I think the result was fair.
A side, note Davids had a last minute injury to his toe and did not play. For Romania, Ilie, Galca did not play.
