Romania 3-0 Ukraine – Highlights

Romania started the first half with more chances despite being 24 places below their opponents in the world rankings. They had warmed up for the Euros with disappointing goalless draws against Bulgaria and Liechtenstein.

However, the difference was a surprising name – Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League hero, Lunin, who had a poor game.

Romania dominated, and minutes later, Stanciu almost scored directly from a corner with another curling effort that beat Lunin and cannoned off the crossbar.

Razvan Marin doubled the Tricolours’ lead after 53 minutes with a long-range effort that squeezed under the Ukraine goalkeeper.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Lunin had a poor game and was also at fault for Romania’s second when he misjudged the flight of Marin’s strike. The ball went under his attempted save.
