The narrow win earned Romania three precious points in their quest to reach the finals tournament. The only goal of the game came in the second half, with Romania capitalizing on a defensive error to score from a well-worked set piece. Kosovo U21 pressed for an equalizer in the closing stages and had several promising attacks, but the Romanian defense, marshaled by their captain, stood firm to see out the result.
