Romania Sets Euro Championship Record with Big Win Despite Low Possession Percentage

In the first round of Group E matches at the European Championship, Stanciu, Dragus and Marin each scored a goal, securing a 3-0 victory for Romania over Ukraine.

This marks Romania’s first win in the main stage of the Euros in 24 years, and their biggest margin of victory in the tournament – they had only won twice in their previous 17 Euro matches.

Statistically, Romania had an impressive 29% possession in the entire match, setting a record for the lowest possession percentage for a winning team since statistics were first recorded in 1980. Additionally, the Romanian team made 31 clearances in this match, the most by any team in a single game in the history of the Euros so far.
