Romania defeated Ukraine 3-0, with Nicolae Stanciu scoring a stunning goal to kick off a fantastic victory for the underdogs in Group E of Euro 2024.

Romania kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign in style, delivering a sensational 3-0 triumph over Ukraine. The victory was ignited by the brilliance of captain Nicolae Stanciu, whose remarkable goal set the tone for the match.

In the 29th minute, Stanciu unleashed a thunderous strike from distance, finding the top corner of the net. This moment of magic was made possible by Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Lunin’s poor distribution. From that point onwards, Romania dominated the game.

Shortly after the halftime break, Razvan Marin extended Romania’s lead with a speculative shot that slipped past Lunin. The Ukrainian goalkeeper was left to rue his misfortune as the ball found its way into the back of the net.

To seal the deal, Denis Dragus added a third goal with a simple tap-in. This result marked Romania’s first victory in the European Championship since 2000, much to the delight of their passionate fans in Munich.

With this impressive win, Romania now sits at the top of Group E. Their chances of qualifying for the next stage look promising, especially considering that three points were sufficient for them to progress as a third-placed team in Euro 2020.

On the other hand, Ukraine finds themselves at the bottom of the group, while Belgium and Slovakia are set to face off later today.
