Euro 2024 in major security breach as fan invades pitch during Romania’s win over Ukraine before stewards haul him off
A FAN invaded the pitch before being dragged off by security during Romania's 3-0 win over Ukraine.
The supporter, who was wearing a yellow t-shirt, appeared from the stand behind the goal before a Ukraine corner.
He managed to get to Romanian star Nicolae Stanciu, but was swiftly whisked away by stewards.
The game quickly resumed with Romania leading 3-0 in the Group E clash.
There was an incredible atmosphere inside the Allianz Arena in Munich.
That was largely down to the Romanian supporters who made a raucous noise that spurred on their side.

Some could even be seen in tears as their side marched to a first Euros victory in 24 years.
Stanciu broke the deadlock with a screamer shortly before the half-hour mark, ripping a thunderbolt into the top corner.
Razvan Marin then doubled Romania's lead eight minutes into the second period with another long-range strike - this time letting fly into the bottom corner.
And Denis Dragus made sure of the points four minutes later, poking home from close range.
Romania and Ukraine are in Group E alongside Belgium and Slovakia.
Next up for Romania is a clash with Belgium on Saturday, before they take on Slovakia on June 26.
They have only qualified out of the group once before at the Euros - in 2000 when they reached the quarter-finals before losing 2-0 to eventual runners-up Italy.
