Switzerland draw 1-1 with Romania at Euro 2016

Paris: Switzerland were frustrated in their attempt to book a place in the knockout stage of Euro 2016 after a 1-1 draw with a Romanian side who showed the same energy that pegged back France in the curtain-raiser.

Bogdan Stancu`s penalty gave Romania the advantage at a sunny Parc des Princes and the Swiss spurned a host of chances to score before Admir Mehmedi slammed home to level just before the hour mark.

Switzerland will now face France in Lille on Sunday, still looking for the points to guarantee their place in the knockout round.
