Lacklustre France failed to score in their opening Euro 2008 game against Romania which could leave them with an uphill task to qualify from Group C.
Without influential captain Patrick Viera and main striker Thierry Henry, they created little against the hard-working but unambitious Romanians.
Franck Ribery cut a ball back for Karim Benzema to cushion an 18-yard shot into Bogdan Lobont’s arms on 62 minutes.
The Lyon striker dragged a shot wide seconds later but was then substituted.
