Buffon Saves Italy

World Cup winners Italy were minutes away from being knocked out of the Euro 2008 by Romania. Gianluigi Buffon saved a late penalty from Adrian Mutu, which kept Italy in the Euro 2008.

Mutu had given Romania the lead lifting the ball over Buffo after a poor back header on 55 minutes. Romania's lead only lasted a minute as Christian Panucci touched in Giorgio Chiellini's header.

Result

Italy 1-1 Romania

France Fail To Impress Against Romania

France failed to beat Romania, which could become costly in the 'group of death' Group C. Both Patrick Vieria and Thierry Henry were missing from the starting line-up and without these two players France struggled to create any chances. Romania will be the happiest of the two teams with a draw as they still have a say in who will qualify from this group.

I predict France will struggle to qualify as they have to get a result against the Netherlands and Italy.

Result

Romania 0-0 France
