Romania Thrash Ukraine 3-0 in Euro 2024 Opener
Historic Win for Romania
Romania produced a dominant performance to secure a resounding 3-0 victory over Ukraine in their opening match of Group E at Euro 2024. Captain Nicolae Stanciu netted a sensational goal that will surely be remembered as one of the tournament's most spectacular moments.
Stanciu's Wondergoal Sets the Tone
The game was effectively put to bed in the first half as Stanciu unleashed an unstoppable right-footed shot from 30 yards out. The low drive found the bottom corner, sending the Romanian fans into a frenzy and setting the tone for the rest of the match.
Romania continued to dominate, creating several more chances before Razvan Marin doubled their lead with a clinical finish just after the break. The result was sealed in the second half when a defensive error allowed substitute Andrei Cordea to tap in Romania's third goal.
This victory marks a significant moment in Romanian football history, as it is only the second time they have scored three goals in a EURO match. The last time they achieved this feat was in a 3-2 triumph against England in 2000.
For Ukraine, this defeat is a major setback. Having failed to score in six of their previous nine group stage games at the UEFA European Championship, they will need to regroup quickly if they want to keep their hopes of qualification alive.
