After a goalless first-half, the Romanians took the lead courtesy of Ciprian Deac’s 59th minute penalty after VAR replays showed Jules Kounde had handled the ball.
The 33-year-old made no mistake from 12 yards to send fans inside Constantin Radulescu Stadium wild.
However, super-sub Nesyri ensured that the game ended all squared with the leveller courtesy of Luuk de Jong’s assist.
