UKRAINE SHADING IT

UKRAINE START BRIGHTLY

UKRAINE TOURNAMENT REGULARS
This is Ukraine's fourth straight European Championship appearance. They got to the quarter-finals three years ago, advancing from third place in their group before knocking out Sweden, but England proved a bridge too far.
Qualifying for this edition was done the hard way. Ukraine had to come from the play-offs - after pushing reigning champions Italy mighty close, finishing on the same number of points and left rueing a controversial non-penalty in the closing seconds - but beat Bosnia and Herzegovina, then Iceland, both 2-1. Big-name players Mudryk and Dovbyk came up big, scoring the winning goals.

THIS IS THE FIRST COMPETITIVE MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO
Ukraine have one each of the last three friendlies, however, one on penalties. Romania won the three before that so it's an even head-to-head.

ROMANIA CHASING FIRST EURO WIN IN 24 YEARS
Romania have not won a European Championship game since 2000 - a 3-2 victory over England.

13:25
ZINCHENKO, MUDRYK AND DOVBYK ALL START FOR UKRAINE
Artem Dovbyk, La Liga's leading scorer, leads the Ukraine attack in a team with quite a few household names. Oleksandr Zinchenko is back at left-back, playing behind Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk.
Georgiy Sudakov, 21, in central midfield, may soon be a household name and is attracting plenty of interest this transfer window.
Ukraine: Lunin, Konoplia, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Zinchenko, Stepanenko, Shaparenko, Tsygankov, Sudakov, Mudryk, Dovbyk.
