It’s over, Romania wins by a wide margin against Ukraine (3-0)!
It’s over at the Allianz Arena, Romania takes the scalp of Ukraine (3-0) thanks to goals from Stanciu, Marin and Dragus.
Ukraine will have the obligation to react against Slovakia on Friday at 3 p.m.
Yaremchuk hits the bar!
Ukraine is trying to save honor. Yaremchuk is found in the area and takes the ball with an acrobatic half-volley but it ends up on the crossbar…
4 minutes of added time
There will be 4 extra minutes in this match which ends at a fairly low pace. Nothing much to hope for for Ukraine, which will have to react against Slovakia for the next match.
Puscas passes very close to a CSC
Malinovskyi takes charge of taking a corner to which he gives an inward trajectory. Puscas deflects the ball with his head and almost deceives his own goalkeeper.
But Romania is successful today…
The huge ovation for Stanciu
Standing ovation for Stanciu, author of an exceptional goal in the first half and great leader of this Romanian team. He is replaced by defender Racovitan, who notably passed through Dijon.
Mudryk misses the frame
Dovbyk sends a good ball to Mudryk on the left side. The Chelsea winger enters the area but misses the target.
Latest change made by Ukraine
Former Marseille player Malinovskyi replaces Sudakov… not a gift to come on when his team loses 3-0.
Nita still in demand and successful in the Romanian cage
From a corner, Mudryk brings danger. The ball arrives on Dragusin’s head then is touched by Burca. It finally ends up in Nita’s gloves.
Sudakov tries his luck, Nita vigilant
Sudakov fires a nice shot from outside the box, although it is slightly lacking in power. Nita was very vigilant anyway and grabbed the ball.
Two new changes for Romania
Marin and Dragus, both scorers this afternoon, leave the pitch and are replaced by Rus and Puscas.
A streaker kindly escorted to the stands
A Romanian supporter came down onto the pitch to take a closer look at the players. He is escorted back to the stands by security.
Dragusin blocks in front of Sudakov
Ukraine inherits a well-placed free kick. Sudakov takes charge but the great Dragusin rises higher than everyone and against the leather of the head.
Stanciu tries his luck again directly
Stanciu has full confidence in the quality of his right foot and tries his luck again from an improbable angle on a free kick. It ends up in Lunin’s little net…
Konoplia inherits the first card of the game
Excessive commitment by the Ukrainian right-back on the incoming Mihaila is logically punished with a yellow card.
Ukraine is also changing with 3 changes
Entries of Yaremchuk, Yarmolenko and Brazhko for Ukraine, which will inevitably imply a tactical change. Exits of Shaparenko, Stepanenko and Tsygankov.
Double change for Romania, with the entry of Hagi
Two changes for Romania with the entries of Hagi and Mihaila who replace the two wingers Man and Coman.
The enormous success of the Romanians
Of its 5 shots on target, Romania hit the mark three times! What realism from Eduard Iordanescu’s men.
Romania drives home the point, Dragus for the 3-0!!!
Ukraine is no longer there! From a corner, Man enters the area and delivers a marvelous pass to Dragus who crucifies Lunin, it makes 3-0!
Great atmosphere in the stands of the Allianz Arena
The yellow tide of Romania supporters sets fire to the stands of the Allianz Arena! Big support from the twelfth man.
Marin defeats Ukraine, 2-0!!
Oh the stab for Ukraine! On another shot from outside the area, this time it’s Marin who hits the mark, apparently with a big hand error from Lunin… 2-0!
Sudakov lacks support in attack
Nice breakthrough from Sudakov in the middle but the Shakhtar leader finally backs down while Dovbyk was the only player to accompany him…
Sudakov’s shot goes well over
Sudakov tries to imitate Stanciu but does not have the same success. His long shot flies into the stands of the Allianz Arena.
Dragusin relieves his people in the air
Mudryk tries to sound the revolt of Ukraine and goes as a soloist on its left side. He crosses but it’s the big Dragusin who wins in the air.
Here we go again !
It’s back between Romania and Ukraine, no changes to report at the break. The Ukrainians will have to come to their senses to return to this meeting.
It’s the break, Romania is in the lead (1-0)!
Half-time has just been whistled at the Allianz Arena and it is Romania who have created the surprise for the moment by dominating Ukraine. Stanciu scored an exceptional goal and allowed his team to lead 1-0!
2 minutes of added time
There will be 2 additional minutes in this very competitive first act where interruptions of play were rare.
A massive blow for Ukraine
Stanciu’s goal was a real blow to the Ukrainians, who are struggling to get back on track after a convincing first half hour.
Stanciu not far from scoring another sensational goal!
Stanciu walks on water! From a corner, the Romanian captain tries his luck with a ball which takes a floating trajectory and which finally lands on Lunin’s crossbar!
Tsygankov misses the mark
Dovbyk is still effective in his role as a support point and handover on Tsygankov. The left-hander strikes but his attempt lacks power and is blocked again.
Ukraine tries to react
Mudryk, Tsygankov and Dovbyk look for each other in attack but Ukraine has not yet managed to prove dangerous. Lots of waste in the last few meters.
A goal that did good for Romania
Stansiu’s opening score gave cheer to the Romanians, who continued to attack. The Ukrainians are stunned by this goal which comes against the run of play.
OH STANCIU’S JEWEL, 1-0 for Romania!!!
Romania surprises everyone! Man takes advantage of a missed restart from Lunin and serves Stanciu on the edge of the area, the Romanian captain sends a huge strike into Lunin’s top corner, 1-0!!
The Romanian reaction by Coman
He has the same name as Kingsley, his name is Florinel. And he also has undeniable percussion qualities. With his speed, he tries to get the best of the Ukrainian defense, which is also solid.
A very low Romanian team on the pitch
Attack-defense for the moment in this match with a Romanian team which is sticking to its defensive positions.
Dovbyk’s shot flies over
The Ukrainian goleador tries his luck outside the box. His shot, however, goes well above. It’s safe for Nita.
The Romanian coach rails from his bench
New ball quickly lost by the Romanians as they struggle to recover it. Eduard Iordanescu gets annoyed on his bench and signals to his players to stop playing and go slower.
Big sequence of possession for the Ukrainians
The ball continues to spin widely at the feet of the Ukrainians. Romania does not exert any pressure on the ball carrier and retreats into its camp.
Ukraine confiscates the ball
The first quarter of an hour of play has passed and the ball does not leave the Ukrainians’ feet. 82% possession for Zbirna compared to only 18% for Romania.
Tsygankov had space…
Sudakov throws Tsygankov perfectly on the right side. The Girona winger has a boulevard in front of him but gets a little confused and this allows Romania to retreat correctly.
Burca powerful enough to resist Dovbyk
The Romanian defense stands out for the moment like Burca who stands up to Dovbyk in the duel. Start of the match to the advantage of the Ukrainians but no clear opportunity for the moment.
A homogeneous block on the Romanian side
Eduard Iordanescu’s team moves together and resists the Ukrainian offensives for the moment. With a balloon, it’s a little more complicated.
Tsygankov heats the Romanian defense
In a perfect pivot, Dovbyk puts it back on Tsygankov at the entrance to the area. The left-hander shoots with first intention but it is blocked by the Romanian defense.
Ukraine looks to attack depth
Five minutes of play and already a clear intention is emerging on the Ukrainian side. We are looking for Dovbyk a lot in the depths. The big striker from Girona will be the main point of support up front.
Dovbyk misses his control
Zinchenko tries to alert Dovbyk in depth. The Girona striker attempts an extended control with the tip of his foot, it’s complicated and finally the leather slips through the Romanian goalkeeper’s gloves.
The Zbirna sets the rhythm from the start
The Ukrainians have already set their pace since kick-off. Speed and commitment in duels.
Let’s go !
Romania-Ukraine, the first poster for group E is launched! In front of an audience which has largely taken over the aisles of the Allianz Arena, it is the Ukrainians who take action.
Dovbyk’s impressive La Liga stats
For his first season in La Liga, Artem Dovbyk exploded the scores with Girona. With 24 goals scored, the Ukrainian finished top scorer in the Spanish championship.
Sudakov, a name to follow in Ukraine
Starting in 10 this afternoon, Georgiy Sudakov will be keen to shine. Very successful with Shakhtar Donetsk this season (10 goals and 6 assists TCC), the 21-year-old attacking midfielder has a good window of exposure to make his name known throughout Europe.
The composition of Ukraine also there, with heavy attack
Great people in the team put together by Serhiy Rebrov, including Tsygankov and Dovbyk, two great architects of Girona’s success this season. Mudryk also starts on the left side.

They then followed with a defeat against Poland (3-1) and a 4-0 victory against Moldova on June 11.
On paper, Ukraine, qualified in the play-offs against Iceland, can count on a few individuals, including center forward Dovbyk, revelation of the season in La Liga. The compositions will be available around 2 p.m. Kick-off at 3 p.m. on BeIN Sports. A match which will also be broadcast on RMC’s 100% Euro digital radio, live and in full, like all matches in the competition.
