In a thrilling match, Albania’s Nedim Bajrami made history as he shocked Italy by scoring the fastest goal ever at a European Championship. Just 23 seconds into the game, Bajrami found the back of the net, putting Albania ahead.
However, Italy showed their champion spirit as they responded quickly. Goals from Bastoni and Barella in the next 16 minutes turned the game around, giving Italy a lead they would not relinquish.
This resilient performance showcased Italy’s rich history in the competition. Having first tasted success as hosts in 1968, Italy established themselves as a force, finishing as runners-up in 2000 and 2012. They then went on to win their second European Championship title at Euro 2020, adding to their illustrious legacy.
Albania, on the other hand, are relative newcomers to the UEFA European Championship, having qualified for their first tournament in 2016 and earning their second berth in the upcoming 2024 edition.
