Slovakia’s innovative throw-in routine during their Euro 2024 match against Ukraine has caught the attention of fans, who praised the team’s creativity and quick thinking.
The well-executed move, which ultimately led to Ivan Schranz’s opening goal in the 17th minute, began with Lukas Haraslin initially preparing to take the throw-in. However, in a surprising twist, David Hancko rushed to the sideline and received the ball instead. Hancko then swiftly threw it to Haraslin, who crossed it to Schranz for a successful header.
Although Slovakia ultimately lost the game 2-1, their clever strategy did not go unnoticed by impressed fans. One fan predicted that Arsenal would likely attempt a similar tactic next season, while another emphasized the untapped potential of throw-ins as a set piece, suggesting that teams should explore more creative variations.
The routine was described by fans as “brilliant” and “genius,” with some even suggesting that other teams might try to replicate it. Despite Slovakia’s early lead, Ukraine made a comeback with goals from Mykola Shaparenko and Roman Yaremchuk. Going into the final round of fixtures, Group E remains tightly contested, with all four teams sitting at three points each. Slovakia, currently in third place, will face Romania in their last match on Wednesday.
