1 min: The game kicks off at 17:00 BST in glorious sunshine and in an explosive start, Germany win themselves an early corner which is easily cleared.
5 mins: Adrian Ilie escapes down the left and sends over a low cross which Viorel Moldovan smashes into the roof of the German net. Germany 0-1 Romania
13 minutes: Markus Babbel and Jens Jeremies exchange passes down the German right but Jeremies' poor cross is cut out by Romanian keeper Bogdan Stelea.
17 mins: Moldovan heads over from five yards after good work by Gheorge Hagi down the right.
18 mins: As Romania expose Germany down the right for the third time in the game, Hagi's clipped pass is charged down by Oliver Kahn who is suspected of handling the ball outside the area. However, the referee waves play on.
23 mins: German captain Oliver Bierhoff rises above his marker before directing a header straight at Stelea when he could easily have scored.

37 mins: Jeremies blazes over the bar from 30 yards out.
40 mins: Ilie races clear of the German defence but loses control of the ball before claiming his is fouled in the area. He is consequently booked along with Hagi for protesting to the referee.
