Romania's Under 21 national football team has been defeated by Wales, score 3-0 (1-0), on Tuesday evening in Iași and has lost the chance to qualify for the U21 European Championship. Although credited with high chances and topping the group ahead of the game, thus having the chance to qualify for the play-offs even by registering a draw, the Romanian players had the poorest day possible, being defeated by the goals scored by Rhys Williams (9th minute), Simon Church (57th minute) and Rhoys Wiggins (70th minute). The first two goals came after Welsh corner kicks. Emil Săndoi, the coach of Romania's U21 team, has stated after the game that he cannot explain the players' poor performance and that he is disappointed that the players lost the chance of registering an important result. "It is a situation that honestly I did not expect and it is a pity because we had the possibility to enter the play-offs and to achieve important results. At this level the teams have ups and downs, and unfortunately we played poorly right when it mattered most. This was the poorest of the last 19 games that we've played", Emil Sandoi stated. Săndoi hinted that he could be demoted because he takes responsibility for this "shameful" result. The coach added that he has nothing to reproach himself when it comes to the players brought to the team, because the selection pool is very limited.
