**Bucharest, Romania** – Romania secured a resounding 4-1 victory over Cyprus in their final UEFA Nations League Group C, Group 2 match at the National Arena, extending their undefeated streak to five matches and securing top spot in the group.

Romania controlled the match from the outset, taking the lead early through Daniel Birligea’s goal. Razvan Marin quickly doubled the advantage with a rebound goal, capitalizing on a defensive error by Cyprus. While Cyprus pulled one back through Ioannis Pittas’ volley, Konstantinos Laifis’ second yellow card and subsequent red card shifted the momentum decisively in Romania’s favor.

Following the sending off, Romania dominated possession in Cyprus’ half. Further goals from Razvan Marin (assisted by Florinel Coman) and Coman himself sealed a comfortable victory. The final score of 4-1 reflected Romania’s complete control after the sending-off.

Despite a promising start for Cyprus, Romania’s superior skill and intensity proved too much. The match also saw several substitutions for both teams as managers adjusted their strategies.

The win comes after a controversial previous match against Kosovo, which was suspended due to xenophobic chants from Romanian fans targeting the visiting team. UEFA is yet to issue a statement on the incident.

Romania finishes the group stage undefeated with 15 points, while Cyprus ends their campaign in third place with 6 points. The match was not televised but was streamed online.
