Romania were the inferior over both legs, but an odd play gave them a result on this night. Vaseleios Torosidis was in defense for Greece and ran onto a pass from a Romanian player before turning and firing into the upper ninety of his own net. It was perhaps the best finish of his entire career, but he equalized for Romania. Luckily for Torosidis, he will not be burned in effigy because Greece managed to see out the rest of the match without further incident. The match ends in a 1-1 draw. Greece win the series 4-2 and advance to Brasil 2014 whereas Romania are eliminated.
