Tonight's referee Viktor Kassai of Hungary is letting the game flow. He refereed the 2011 Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona at Wembley.
France earn a corner as Dragos Grigore has to stretch to nick the ball away from Antoine Griezmann.

Oliver Cook: Pogba already looking like a contender for player of the tournament. Manchester United must feel sick every game they see him play.
Sahil Oberoi: I don't care how many trophies Sir Alex Ferguson won, he sold Pogba. HE SOLD POGBA!!
France 0-0 Romania
Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet have both attended the Ronaldinho school of no look passing. Such technique and skills to pull it off.
The West Ham man almost puts through Antoine Griezmann, but former Tottenham defender Vlad Chiriches skirts across to cut out the pass.
France 0-0 Romania
Chris Bevan
BBC Sport at Stade de France
The home fans have given France incredible backing so far and they are roaring them forward every time they have the ball.
They are desperate for a goal and the volume is likely to be incredible here if and when they get one - it was loud enough when half the stadium 'ooohed and ahhhed' as the big screens here showed replays of Antoine Griezmann hitting the post.
France 0-0 Romania
Romania look neat when they have the ball at their feet. They knock it around nicely along the lush Stade de France turf, but the spell of possession comes to nothing.
France 0-0 Romania
Danny Mills
Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 live
"This is being played at an unbelievable frantic pace. I hope every game at Euro 2016 is this exciting. We weren't sure what the tournament was going to be like in the early stages and whether teams would sit back. But France and Romania are both going for it."
France 0-0 Romania
Leicester's French midfielder N'Golo Kante has just made an interception.
In other news, night follows day.
France 0-0 Romania
There have already been as many shots on target in this game as during the France-Romania match at Euro 2008. In fairness, the game in Zurich was an absolute stinker.
France 0-0 Romania
The France supports break into a rendition of La Marseillaise. Is it in your top-five favourite national anthems? The Italian one is up there too.
On the pitch, Paul Pogba is providing the inspiration and starting to find his range. Romania are in trouble if they don't stop that.

Steve MacConmara: France look terrible defensively.
Ben Smith: I don't fancy this French back four. No pace and average age of 402.
Olivier Cook: People worry about England's central defence of Smalling & Cahill. Is it really any worse than France's of Rami & Koscielny?
France 0-0 Romania
Paul Pogba seeing plenty of the ball now for France and the Juventus man is looking to set the tempo.
He slips a beautifully weighted ball through to Bacary Sagna and the full-back curls cross into the Romania box which causes a few problems.
They fail to get it away and Antoine Griezmann poked his head in, but the ball comes back off the post.
A let off for the side in yellow, who conceded just two goals in 10 qualifying games.
France 0-0 Romania
Plenty of possession for the hosts in the first 10 minutes. Arguably, though, they should be behind.
France 0-0 Romania
Thierry Henry
Former France International on BBC Radio 5 live
"I thought Olivier Giroud could have done better with the header. At least it is positive."
France 0-0 Romania
He should be doing better.
Dimitri Payet shows brilliant trickery on the left, before clipping a cross into the box which finds an unmarked Olivier Giroud, but the Arsenal striker nods wide and fails to work the Romania goalkeeper.
France 0-0 Romania
France look a bit shocked by that start from Romania and will want to get their foot on the ball.
They work it from right to left - via Paul Pogba's crossfield ball - and Antoine Griezmann's shot is deflected away.
France 0-0 Romania
Danny Mills
Ex-England defender for BBC Radio 5 live
"France need to get their midfield players on ball. They have had a huge scare but they need to play themselves into the game in the next five minutes."
France 0-0 Romania
The boisterous French support has already been silenced. All very quiet inside Stade de France and we've barely played 10 minutes.
Romania needed a good start to pipe them down and they almost got the perfect opening, but for Hugo Lloris's intervention.
France 0-0 Romania
Thierry Henry
Former France International on BBC Radio 5 live
"Well done Hugo Lloris. You don't go into a big tournament without a good keeper. I thought that was a goal. Romania have nothing to lose. You can see already they are going to chase every single ball."
France 0-0 Romania
What a save!!
The corner is whipped in and flicked on by a Romania player at the front post and striker Nicolae Stanciu is free a the back post, but his shot from six yards out is superbly blocked by France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Florin Andone then loops a header over the crossbar.
Romania signalling their intent early on, France shaky from set pieces.
