A tough joke in the fight for the Euro. The Romanian’s amazing interplay put the Swiss defense to shame – Sport.cz

In the first half, the young Romanians showed an amazing challenge to the Swiss defense. Defender Zachary Athekame wanted to kick the ball away from the left corner flag, but striker Louis Munteanu joined the fray with a slide, which won the ball for Octavian Popescu. After that the two footballers exchanged the ball three times (once in the air and the second time with a dunk) to allow Popescu to free himself on the line and go to the goal.

However, he was not ready to take the shot and instead went to midfielder Constantin Gramenia, who provoked Munteanu with his heel. However, it went to Ianis Stoic in an even better position, who made no mistake and opened the Swiss net for the second time in the game.

You can find the specified position at 4:36.

It was a football high school from the Romans, the Swiss defenders, on the other hand, were completely unaware. Perhaps the scalp from the red card received, which, according to many born in very strange circumstances, played a role.

Lucerne’s Swiss defender Luca Jaquez was initially punished with a yellow card after a foul, but Romanian coach Daniel Pancu ran to the referee. He cursed hard, and saw a red card. The referee later changed his decision in Jaquez’s case and sent him to the showers.

“It was a scene that confirmed the character of the whole game. This is a terrible decision for me. The opposing coach gets angry, takes the yellow card from the referee’s hand and gives a red card instead. That let us down,” the Swiss coach said.

SRF television reporter Dani Kern also agreed with the whole situation. “The red for Jaquez was very harsh, but I wouldn’t say it was awarded completely wrongly. I am surprised by the fact that coach Pancuo’s rush to the referee will have such a rude effect on the decision. I see this as a shame,” he thinks.

The Romanian under-21 football team advanced to the European Championship in Slovakia straight from the first place in the table, leaving the second Finland and the already mentioned Switzerland.
