to have two goals ruled out by var, the second when a handball was detected in the build up. despair for belgium fans, but delight for those of slovakia. there was also a surprise in the opening match of the day as romania beat ukraine 3 0. nicolae stanciu put romania 1 0 up, with this brilliant strike on the half hour mark. razvan marin and denis dragus were also on the scoresheet. romania had failed to win their opening group game in any of their previous five appearances at the euros so plenty to celebrate for the team and their fans. well, on display in munich, where that match took place, are damaged seats from ukraine s sonyachny stadium, in khakiv. the stadium was destroyed by russian troops following their invasion of ukraine in 2022. the damaged stand, built for eeuro 2012, was presented in the city centre by former ukraine striker, andriy shevchenko, who s vowed to never stop telling the world about the war. cameron norrie s disappointing form continues, after a f
