Goals from Florentin Petre and Dorin Goian gave the Romanians a two-goal cushion, but Frank Ribery pulled one back for Les Bleus before half-time.

In the 69th minute, Ribery set up Gourcuff who unleashed a thunderous 30-yard rifle into the roof of Bogdan Lobont's net.

France are fourth in Group 7 with four points, two behind leaders Serbia, who ended Lithuania's winning streak with a 3-0 home victory.
