Ukraine suffered a disastrous start to its Euro 2024 campaign, losing 3-0 to Romania in its opening match in Group E on Monday.
Captain Nicolae Stanciu gave Romania the lead with a superb strike in the 29th minute, before second-half goals from Răzvan Marin and Denis Drăguș settled the exhilarating tie. It was all going to plan for Ukraine in the early stages of the match. The team ranked 24 places higher in the world rankings than Romania was dominating the ball, but things soon started to go wrong.
This time, there was little Lunin could have done as the brilliant Drăguș was left free in the penalty area to tap home from close range. There was a flood of yellow at the full-time whistle, as Romania’s bench rushed onto the pitch to celebrate in front of the team’s traveling fans. Ukraine woes Ukraine is playing in a major tournament for the first time since Russia launched its full scale invasion of the country in February 2022.
