Eran Zahavi had put Israel in the lead 90 seconds into the match with a header from an unmarked position after a corner. Romania levelled after 10 minutes when George Puscas headed in a rebound off the woodwork.
Tensions heightened as Romania’s Valentin Mihaila received a red card five minutes from time for a tackle on Dor Turgeman.
The result sees Israel fall short of a top-two finish and they will move into the playoffs for another chance to reach next year’s finals in Germany.
