NICOLAE STANCIU scored the pick of the goals as Romania began their Euro 2024 campaign in style today with an impressive 3-0 win over Ukraine in Munich.

Stanciu fired his side into a 29th-minute lead which they never looked like giving up as further goals from Razvan Marin and Denis Dragus sealed victory on a day to forget for Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

With Mykhailo Mudryk and Artem Dovbyk in menacing mood, Ukraine made the early running in the Group E encounter and Girona striker Dovbyk blazed a 22nd-minute attempt high over the crossbar.
