I thought in the first match of Group E, Ukraine would easily win against Romania today, but the opposite happened, and Romania won a very comfortable 3-0 victory over Ukraine. I was really impressed with Dragus’ performance for Romania. On the other hand, Stanciu scored one of the best goals so far at EURO 2024. Ukraine’s performance was quite poor; I think they made their first accurate shot in the 76th minute.
I didn't expect Ukraine to win comfortably, but I didn't expect Romania to play so comfortably as well. Romania used their chances very well and didn't concede a goal against the strong Ukrainian forwards. After being winless in the last 2 tournaments, Romania managed to win in the Euros after a long time. Now things are complicated in this group, Ukraine has made its own job very difficult. If Belgium, which is currently behind, loses points to Slovakia, the balance will change dramatically. It will be a very different picture than expected.
Maybe many missed this match because they thought Ukraine would win, this is indeed difficult to guess because in terms of the game Ukraine still controls it's just that they have too much control without having many shots on target.
Belgium are now still behind Slovakia but the situation of this group will not change drastically because there are still many matches left to compete for, well if for example Belgium lose then their hopes of qualifying are still very large as well as Ukraine just that with this defeat many people still do not expect it.
