Ilie Dumitrescu was the MVP of this match, not Gheorghe Hagi.
As a neutral, watching Romania lose to Sweden in the next round was one of the greatest disappointments of any World Cup. That team could have beaten anyone, they were that special.
1-0 Ilie Dumitrescu (11 min)
1-1 Gabriel Batistuta (16 min (PK))
2-1 Ilie Dumitrescu (18 min)
3-1 Gheorghe Hagi (58 min)
3-2 Abel Balbo (75 min)
La estrategia y el juego de la Selección Argentina giraban en torno a Maradona; su descalificación por dopaje positivo fué fulminante para ese equipo minado de estrellas, y su nivel futbolístico cayó drásticamente. De todos modos, ese fué un buen partido de los rumanos.
This Romanian team was pure fire.

Dumitrescu e Hagi jogaram muito esse dia
Stunning performance from Romania, from an Argentinean.

Romania was lucky , coz Argentina playing without Maradona
Gheorghe Hagi era conocido como el "Maradona de los Cárpatos" , una lástima que el original Maradona solo pudo ver ese juego desde la tribuna. Si se hubieran enfrentado en la cancha habría sido un crossover épico!!!
Absence of The great Maradona and Cannigia made the difference.
