He managed to get to Romanian star Nicolae Stanciu, but was swiftly whisked away by stewards.

The game quickly resumed with Romania leading 3-0 in the Group E clash.

There was an incredible atmosphere inside the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Stanciu broke the deadlock with a screamer shortly before the half-hour mark, ripping a thunderbolt into the top corner.

Razvan Marin then doubled Romania’s lead eight minutes into the second period with another long-range strike – this time letting fly into the bottom corner.

And Denis Dragus made sure of the points four minutes later, poking home from close range.
