The football teams of Romania and Switzerland played a 1:1 draw today in the second round of Group A of the European Championship.

At the Park Princeva stadium in Paris, Romania took the lead in the 18th minute from a penalty shot by Bogdan Stanka, while Admir Mehmedi scored a point for Switzerland in the 57th minute.

Switzerland started the game better, had two good chances before Stanku shook the opponent's net from the penalty spot for the second time at the continental championship. However, Haris Seferović was unlucky both times from good positions.

In the 18th minute, Aleksandar Kipč ran from the left flank into the penalty area, where Stefan Lichtsteiner pulled him by the shirt, so the referee awarded a penalty. Stanku, like against France, took responsibility, and this time he was safe, so Romania gained the advantage.

Until the end of the first half, Switzerland was mostly attacking, but by halftime they were unable to equalize.

In the second half, the Swiss continued in the same rhythm, and in the 57th they reached a tie. Mehmedi picked up a rebound in the rival's penalty area after a corner, and beat Ciprijan Tatarušanu with a powerful shot from about 11 meters.

By the end of the match, neither team managed to get a real chance to score.

At the opening of the European Championship, Romania was defeated by France 2:1, while Switzerland beat Albania 1:0 in the first round.

In the last, third round, the Swiss will face France, while Romania will play against Albania.
