Euro 2024: How can Romania qualify for the round of 16 from Group E?
The HinduRomania, which returned to the European Championships after missing the 2020 edition, will look to go beyond the group stage for just the second time in its history, at the Frankfurt Arena on Tuesday. Scenario 3: Romania draws and the other game ends as a draw If both matches have the same score, or if the game between Belgium and Ukraine is a draw with fewer goals than the one between Slovakia vs Romania, the group ranking would be based on goal difference and goals scored. That would be done as follows: Romania Belgium Slovakia Ukraine If both draws have different scorelines, the following scenarios are anticipated: If the match between Slovakia and Romania ends as a goalless draw and the one between Belgium and Ukraine ends 1-1 or or any permutation where Belgium scores only one more goal than Romania in its draw, Belgium and Romania would finish as the top two teams from Group E, equal on goal difference and goals scored. Scenario 4: Romania loses and Belgium wins Romania will finish third, above Ukraine because of a better goal difference and head-to-head record. Scenario 5: Romania loses and Ukraine wins Romania will then finish fourth because of a poorer goal difference and head-to-head record with Belgium and will be knocked out of the tournament.
