Serge Gnabry scored the only goal of the game in the 16th minute, with the Bayern Munich forward, Leroy Sane and Timo Werner going on to squander opportunities to extend Die Mannschaft's advantage.

That almost came back to haunt Germany in the closing stages as the바카라 웹사이트hosts went close through바카라 웹사이트George Puscas and Nicolae Stanciu.바카라 웹사이트

Germany – the 2014 world champions바카라 웹사이트– ultimately held on, though, to follow up Thursday's opening Group J win over Iceland with another three points.바카라 웹사이트

Low was largely pleased with Germany's display, but acknowledged they should have added to Gnabry's바카라 웹사이트early goal.

"Romania were바카라 웹사이트definitely the better team than Iceland in terms of football," he said. "We worked very well against the ball today and won some battles.바카라 웹사이트

"We could have made the game easier for ourselves if we had made it 2-0. If there's something to complain about, it's the big opportunities.

"The goalkeeper saved바카라 웹사이트very well several times, but we could have been ice cold바카라 웹사이트and more concentrated in front of goal.

"When the opponent has nothing more to lose, they바카라 웹사이트throw바카라 웹사이트everything forward. We had several chances바카라 웹사이트in which we could have finished more cleanly, but we have three points."

Germany made just one substitution before stoppage time –바카라 웹사이트Werner replacing Kai Havertz in the 77th minute –바카라 웹사이트and바카라 웹사이트Low said바카라 웹사이트he stuck with his starting XI for so long as the game was under control.바카라 웹사이트

"It's important to get used to it," he added. "But I didn't switch because the game was under control for a long time.바카라 웹사이트

"We were doing well, the midfield did a good job. The opponent had no chances for a long time, so it wasn't absolutely necessary for a long time."

Joshua Kimmich, who struck the crossbar in the first half with a deflected half-volley, agreed with Low's바카라 웹사이트assessment that Germany made life unnecessarily difficult for themselves.바카라 웹사이트

The Bayern Munich midfielder said: "We could have made it easier for ourselves.바카라 웹사이트We were lucky that Romania didn't equalise in the 90th minute; that would've been karma for us not scoring again.

"We have to score earlier then we will have a quieter evening. I think we largely controlled the game, but still we didn't manage to decide it earlier."

Germany will be looking to make it three wins from three Group J games when they host North Macedonia on Wednesday.
