Dennis Man scores first goal of the season for Romania

In an exciting match held at Strawberry Arena on 25 September 2026, Dennis Man scored a crucial goal for Romania, marking the first of the 2026/2027 season. The 28-year-old forward took advantage of a mistake by Sweden's Viktor Lindelof, helping Romania equalize after Alexander Isak had opened the scoring for the Swedes in the 20th minute.

This goal is particularly significant for Man, who had only played four matches for PSV before this fixture and had last found the net for Romania on 18 November 2025. With this latest addition, he has now scored 12 goals in 46 appearances for the national team.

The match was a competitive affair, with Romania's starting lineup featuring notable players such as Radu, Coubiș, and I. Hagi. The team's next challenge will be against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 28 September 2026, followed by matches against Poland and Sweden in early October, and another encounter with Poland in November.

Romania's performance in this match showcases the team's resilience and readiness for the upcoming fixtures, as they aim to build on this momentum and secure more victories in their qualification campaign.
