Spain U20 methodically breaks open a mismatch early. In the first quarter, Spain's guards push pace while Romania's guards struggle to contain penetration; Dinu attempts to answer with isolation looks but faces tight coverage. By end of Q1, Spain leads 21–15, their defense holding Romania to 15 points despite Dinu's best efforts. The second quarter mirrors the first: Spain's transition game and interior positioning force Romania into contested long-range attempts, while Spain's offensive fluidity yields easy buckets. At halftime, Spain leads 41–30, Romania unable to generate offensive rhythm. Romania emerges from the break seeking a momentum spark, even cutting the margin to 9–10 points midway through Q3, but Spain's depth and discipline prove insurmountable. Dinu leads a minor rally with back-to-back buckets, yet Spain's defense tightens again, suffocating Romania's role players (Illes, Popa, Dubuc). By the fourth quarter, the game is settled: Spain leads 62–47 entering the final stanza and cruises to an 82–62 victory, their defense limiting Romania to just 15 fourth-quarter points. Spain advances with an unbeaten record.
