In a Group I qualifying clash, Romania secured their spot at Euro 2024 by overcoming an early deficit to claim a 2-1 victory against Israel in a closely contested match held in Hungary on Saturday.


Eran Zahavi swiftly put Israel in the lead, scoring a header from an unmarked position after a corner just 90 seconds into the match. Romania responded ten minutes later when George Puscas headed in a rebound off the woodwork, leveling the score.


The decisive moment came in the 63rd minute when Ianis Hagi secured the win for Romania with a low shot from a tight angle inside the box.


Tensions escalated towards the end as Romania's Valentin Mihaila received a red card five minutes from time for a tackle on Dor Turgeman.


As a result, Israel falls short of securing a top-two finish in the group, and they will now move into the playoffs for another opportunity to qualify for next year's finals in Germany.
