A late penalty by substitute Ioan Ganea took Romania into the quarter-finals of Euro 2000 with a 3-2 victory over England. Ganea scored in the 88th minute after Phil Neville hacked down Viorel Moldovan in the box. Romania, needing to win to go through as runners-up in Group A, took the lead through Christian Chivu and dominated most of the match but fell behind just before halftime. England captain Alan Shearer scored a penalty in the 41st minute after Paul Ince was tripped in the box and then Michael Owen gave his side the lead three minutes into stoppage time. Romania came back strongly after the break and equalised quickly through Dorinel Munteanu in the 48th. Romania go on to play Italy in Brussels in the quarter-finals.
