Romania shocked and beat Ukraine 3-0 this Monday within the group stage of Euro 2024. These led by Edward Iordănescu received because of an amazing purpose from Stanciu, the most effective to date within the competitors , one other from Marin and the third from Dragus.

Romania vs. Ukraine (3-0): the compact of the match

It was not merely a match neither is it only a Euro Cup, the fourth in a row, for the Ukrainian group, draped in its flag, expressive and demanding towards the Russian invasion earlier than the match. For that reason, the defeat measures the frustration of a gaggle categorized on the final minute for the European competitors, however with a technology of gamers ready for far more than what they supplied of their staging in Munich.

The defeat leaves Lunin uncovered. His expression of frustration, expressive, revealed the goalkeeper’s unhealthy afternoon, nevertheless it was not solely strictly his. Additionally from his teammates in protection, with out listening to the naked minimal, for instance, within the third purpose that sealed every little thing earlier than recreation time. And the attackers. Neither Dovbyk, nor Tysganovic, nor Mudryk, amongst others, reached the peak that describes his qualities on the figuring out second.

And his coach, Rebrov, by no means discovered the system to oppose Iordanescu’s profitable plan. Romania did, having not received the Euro Cup since 2000 (the truth is it was their solely victory, 2-3 towards England).

The Romanians at all times knew methods to counter their rival. Additionally methods to put it in test on assault. From the start he calmed Ukraine’s temper. He waited for her, contained her and gained floor on her second by second. He managed her and precipitated her errors. He took benefit of the primary most seen one. The mess was began by Zabarnyi. The switch of him behind him, with a lot stress on him, was not a good suggestion. The calmness with which he took it even worse. The whole failure was Lunin’s: he cleared in a really unhealthy manner. His defective proper hand fell on the ft of Denis Man, who instantly handed it on to Stanciu. His hitting was extraordinary. By execution, energy, precision, shock and determination. An ideal purpose from outdoors the world, diagonally, into the highest nook, an unattainable parable for the Actual Madrid goalkeeper, sufferer of the earlier error. As a result of the shot was unstoppable.

The second purpose was not. In a counterattack, already within the second half, the ball was left to Razvan Marin, who hit a shot that was greater than catchable for Lunin. It ought to have been his. It should not have been a purpose. The Ukrainian archer didn’t attain him, his face severe, unhappy, too insecure. Between each objectives, his anticipation of a nook kick may have been one other concession. Stanciu’s direct nook hit the crossbar.

Romania had advantage to win it, past the failures of others. Tsygankov or Mudryk, the Romanian group drew up a tactical plan, of assist, order and rigor, from which it was the winner all through the match. From starting to finish.

The three-0, even earlier than recreation time, with the easy overflow of the winger Man – the most effective, if not the very best, of the match, with participation in every of the objectives – and the shot contained in the small space, alone, with out opposition from Dragus, was absolutely the affirmation of every little thing that was seen on the sector, with out a single actual likelihood for Ukraine, on the ropes in group E, devoured by the demand of the Euro Cup and two failures by Lunin .
