Romania recorded their first victory at a European Championship in 24 years with a stunning win over Ukraine in Group E.
Captain Nicolae Stanciu gave Romania a surprise lead in the 29th minute, finding the top corner with a brilliant strike from 20 yards out.
Razvan Marin then doubled the Tricolours' lead after 53 minutes with a long-range effort that squeezed under Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
Romania rounded off the scoring four minutes later when Denis Dragus tapped in Dennis Man's cross from close range.
Their only previous win at the Euros came in 2000 where a late Ionel Ganea penalty helped them beat England 3-2 in the group stage.
Romania - who were unbeaten in qualifying - are now in a strong spot to progress from Group E and face Belgium in their next match on Saturday.
Ukraine, quarter-finalists at the Euros three years ago, disappointed, taking 77 minutes to record a shot on target.
