Romania vs Ukraine LIVE: Euro 2024 result and reaction after goals from Dragus, Marin and Stanciu

Romania 3-0 Ukraine: A surprise victory for Edward Iordanescu’s men gives them control of Group E

England have ‘a lot of hard work ahead’ after win over Serbia, says Gareth Southgate

Romania stormed to their biggest ever victory at the European Championship with a confident and comfortable 3-0 victory over Ukraine in Munich.

Edward Iordanescu’s men were set up compactly to defend and break on the counter-attack with most of their joy in the first half coming through the outlet of Denis Dragus. Constant pressing on Ukraine’s Andriy Lunin forced the error as the goalkeeper gave the ball away. Nicolae Stanciu then hooked a first time shot into the back of the net to send Romania ahead.

They never looked back. Razvan Murin added a second with an equally brilliant strike from range before Dragus netted a tap-in from a short corner in the second half. Romania go top of Group E ahead of Belgium’s match versus Slovakia and will have their sights set of the knockout rounds now.

Doku wins a corner after beating Hancko on the outside and trying to clip in a cross. Hancko stays down after sliding in, and he’ll need some treatment.

Belgium have some defending to do as Slovakia keep possession, but Castagne does well to block the cross. Slovakia come again, with Haraslin laying it to Bozenik on the edge of the box, but the latter’s shot is tame and straight at Casteels.

Some decent attacking intent from Belgium but Trossard’s pass to Mangala is poor, and the latter is booked after fouling Haraslin.

Onana loses the ball twice in midfield, but he’s lucky that Slovakia can’t capitalise. There’s been plenty of sloppy passes and poor decision-making by both sides in possession.

Slovakia’s attacking has been a little disjointed at times, with Haraslin the latest example as he spins his marker and tries to play the ball behind the defence, but the strikers had dropped in.

Soon after, Bozenik tries the shot from distance but it’s blocked.

CLOSE! Dubravka receives the ball near the edge of his box, and he’s being closed down by De Bruyne. He panics and pokes it straight to Trossard, but the Arsenal man can’t get the right connection on his attempted lob, and it loops over.
