Switzerland, who kicked off the tournament with a 1-0 win over Albania, squandered several opportunities and had to wait for a powerful angled half-volley from winger Admir Mehmedi to level the tie on 57 minutes.
Bogdan Stancu had put Romania in front from the penalty spot against the run of play on 18 minutes after Swiss captain Stephan Lichtsteiner pulled Alexandru Chipciu’s shirt in the box.
France, who beat Romania 2-1 in their opening game, will guarantee their last-16 place if they beat Albania later on Wednesday in Marseille.
