National team: Romania beat Germany 5-1

World Cup finalists Germany may be bound for the 2004 European championships in Portugal but they were given a lesson in the art of finishing by an inexperienced Romania team who ran out 5-1 winners in Wednesday's friendly international.

Germany had problems with a delayed flight to the Romanian capital and they looked jet-lagged as Romania swarmed over them in Bucarest. Mihaita Plesan, Razvan Rat, Ioan Danciulescu (2) and Gabriel Caramarin scored Romanian goals, Philipp Lahm netted for Germany.
