Ukraine’s head coach Serhiy Rebrov made his brief assessment after a terrible start at the European Championship:
? “Unfortunately we lost, we will analyze it and communicate it with the players. But it’s not the last game for us. I’m sure we made mistakes and lost in some parts of the game, and that’s why we lost. .
“I felt like we did well. But we had some messes and unfortunately at the Euros the groups have more sensible players and we have to show our maximum if we want to score problems here.
“Now we have to prepare for the next game, which will be more serious than today. “
The next match will take place on Friday in Düsseldorf against Slovakia, which will soon start against Belgium.

After a passive start, Nicolae Stanciu fired, as did Romania. Here are the numbers for the full time. . .
FT: Romania 3-0 Ukraine
The number of owners was never replaced after Ukraine’s first initiative. Romania focused on what they did with the ball when they had it, and if they maintain current efficiency levels, they will make life difficult for some groups in this league.
Thus, Romania returned to the European Football Championship in a convincing way with a historic victory over Ukraine in Munich.
Edward Iordanescu’s side failed to qualify for Euro 2020 and scored three goals at a European Championship once, in their standout 3-2 win over England at Euro 2000.
But in Munich, their Euro 2024 campaign got off to the best start thanks to goals from Nicolae Stanciu, Razvan Marin and Denis Dragus.
Grab the link below and watch Seb Stafford-Bloor and Mark Critchley discuss the biggest themes from Romania’s declaration of victory.

Romania 3 Ukraine 0 – Stanciu’s torrid performance, his defence and a memorable Romanian triumph
Ah, that’s great. Hagi has a megaphone and the entire Romanian team sits in front of the enthusiasts while Hagi leads the chants.
Now everyone has the status updated. What a fabulous spectacle and what a serious collective power there is.
I think we were all rewarded for following this, with one of the goals of the Nicolae Stanciu tournament and a special day for Romanian football.
It is the first time Romania have won a European Championship since beating England in 2000, their only appearance in the round of 16.
It is quite possible that they will achieve this feat in 2024, based on this evidence.
We all ended up in Munich. A memorable day for Romania. His victory in the European Football Championship.

90′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
Some Ukrainian corner kicks followed, one of them grazing the post after a header from Puscas.
The sun has almost left the pitch, but Ukraine is playing fair. They did not prevent them from trying.
There are 4 minutes of added time left.
88′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
Nicolae Stanciu presents the captain’s armband to Razvan Marin and applauds the Romanian fans (all of whom are prestigious) as he greets Bogdan Racovitan.
What a brilliant start to the tournament by the Romanian captain. And what a glorious goal that started us today.
84′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
It’s an opportunity and a bad blow indeed.
Finally, Dovbyk appears with the ball. He had a very quiet moment halfway.
He throws a slide rule pass to the left for Mudryk who runs, shoots his left-footed shot high, wide and wide.
Chelsea fans will be nodding their heads to this one.
79′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
79 minutes have passed and we have a second yellow card, which goes to Marin for passing to Mudryk. It would possibly be a bit harsh, but it’s already done.
As for the loose shot, Mudryk put it in the area and Nita could have won at the far post.
77′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
Mudryk was the fastest with the ball, but Georgiy Sudakov also caused some problems.
He shoots purposely from 25 meters and pushes Nita for a moment, before picking up the loose ball.

75′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
Dragusin receives huge ovations for every challenge and for every clearance. Hell, do Romanian enthusiasts like it?
As for Denis Dragus in attack, he benefits from a well-deserved rest with the entry of George Puscas.
Adrian Rus is on the field now, replacing Marius Marin.
71′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
The reaction came from Ukraine after the changes. Yarmolenko shot over the bar and Sudakov deflected his free kick into Dragusin.
The corner is going nowhere, leading to a fourth replacement for Ukraine.
Oleksandr Tymchyk now replaces Konoplia.
63′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
As for Ukraine, it opts for the triple change.
Roman Yaremchuk, Volodymyr Brazhko and Andriy Yarmolenko, who throws punches at his teammates on the field, run onto the field.
Stepanenko, Tsygankov and Shaparenko all gave in.
62′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
These are two adjustments for Romania.
They give Man and Coman a rest (of course, there’s a punchline there): they call in Ianis Hagi and Valentin Mihaila.
60′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
It’s two goals in four minutes at the start of the second half, and Romania look poised to score more.
But we’re about to have a lot of adjustments as we get to the hour.

57′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
There was an offside, but the goal stood. Denis Dragus got it, shooting into an empty net after Dennis Man’s cross from a short corner.
This is a short-shift routine. But it is also a disastrous defense against Ukraine.
57′ Romania 3-0 Ukraine
It’s 3 o’clock! My God, this is the land of Romania.
53′ Romania 2-0 Ukraine
Once again, it was Razvan Marin’s first forehand shot. This time, probably 30 meters away and down.
This comes after a quiet lull that has Ukraine struggling to catch up.
But the real challenge was goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who seemed to dodge the shot rather than prevent it.
Given that the first goal, while surprising, also comes from his poor clearance, it’s not the start of a first tournament that the Real Madrid goalkeeper would have hoped for.
53′ Romania 2-0 Ukraine
What a break! What a goal! Romania have their moment thanks to Razvan Marin from distance.
