Romania got off to a disastrous start in the UEFA Nations League, suffering two defeats in a row. While the loss in Sweden was somewhat understandable, their home defeat to Bosnia turned into a complete fiasco.
The Romanian side effectively lost all chances early in the match after conceding twice. By halftime, the score was 3-1 in favor of Bosnia, who then took full control of the game in the second half, denying Romania any hope of a comeback.
