Albania vs. Spain Full Highlights | EURO2024

a wonderful evening here in Western Germany dled off the setting to see if Albania can write their names into footballing folklore there is one change for Albania from the side that started the pulsating draw with Croatia as Spanish born Evan Val comes into defense having been brought in for the Croatia game Kim Lai scored the opener on Match day two nedim pami netted after just 23 seconds against Italy the fastest goal in Euro history CL Chulas on the bench he came on and scored an own goal before bagging the last minute leveler against Croatia as was widely predicted it is a Spain side change by 10 from the win over Italy with Imick leaport the only one to remain from the match day two success Dan ELO scored a late winner when the nation’s last met in 2022 Fen Torres also scored in that game hosu starts at a major tournament for the first time should Petri get on he set a new record of 13 for major tournament appearances while aged 21 or [Applause] younger Albania have already had a couple of memorable moments and only their second ever major tournament who recycles that’s going to be an early corner for Albania right there down in front slany will deliver the corner plenty of red in there but can’t find any of [Music] them Navas too high for hoso but the header came in from Marino and it’s a good stop by stosa to keep it at nil nil and keep out nikel Marino he maybe 38 Jesus Navas but he still likes to get forward delivers a brilliant cross to the far post which Marino arrives heads down it’s a decent save from stosa another Dan Elmo in a pocket of space here could be trouble oh it’s in brilliant finish from fan Torres Spain clicking through the gears and Fen Torres stroking into the back of the Albanian [Music] net he scored in the last game between the sides that was in a friendly couple of years ago he has put Spain in front in their final group game tonight well it’s been a pretty uncomfortable start for Spain Albania been right in their faces and there hasn’t been too much space but for once Danny Elmo finds it and then he’s got the quality to find Torres that out to in run and he passes it into the far Corner there’ll be a goal check they’ll be checking for offside it looked like he timed his run how composed is that for a finish just curls it into that corner there’s been very little space the first time they find it they find the back of the net disagrees and Spain surge forwards oh good try didn’t quite catch it as he wanted to in the end from Dani Elmo but then he’s lost out with a bit of a casual clearance hazes Navas well that was an excellent block to shut the door just as Danny Elmo was getting set to let fly the captain in the way Jim shiti shosha decided to punch and back across and wide Reno triy to tea up the other B Ronaldo trusty left boot of his carved out a promising chance and a chance that Fon Torres couldn’t take again Ronaldo getting down this left hand side he’s the one that provides the width and then provides the quality as well it’s another header on goal for Spain Albania not dealt with crosses very well at all in this first half which allows him to clip that beauty out to galdo early from galto Fon Torres oh lovely disguise Danny HMO would have been some goal SP haven’t needed a second invitation to cross balls again Grimaldo one touch and then delivers they don’t win the first header but they keep it alive and this is so clever I’m sure that’s quite what elel intended but it’s worked out and he’s got it back again here and pokes across for galdo alarm bells ringing for Albania and they’re fortunate that Marino skyed it Jim shiti by Ramy I’ve offered little so far Albania that’s not the worst Ball but met by leaport not very far away though and r with a splendid save best we’ve seen from ALB here all night and as Lanny strike kept out by David ryer he’s been a virtual spectator David R had very little to do this came in so quickly able ralo oh good ball and nearly a fabulous goal that would have been something special from hoso it’s a familiar pattern get the ball out wide against this narrow defense cross the ball into the box and hosu is so unlucky I thought it was It Forward SW switched off and it’s brya denied by David ryer what’s that the moment for [Applause] Albania he’s alive drifts into that space for once Spain switch off as Lanny with the switch out [Applause] wide gathered safely by David ryer a poort choice hoder he’s made a difference since coming on brers after [Applause] this asani urged to have a hit and D not a million miles away from bringing the house down in dorf he a talent two footed shake to hit it with his right cut back to his left and he catches this cleanly R had it covered is a player with immense Talent [Applause] Corner which galdo will take as we go into the last 10 minutes and the header over the [Applause] top there another headlong goal from a cross out wide not dealt with set pieces wor the all Albania hoder and hoder well created the space but then didn’t make use of it in Germany is there another for Albania right at the end of this one there might be Bri Rya with the save Agony for [Applause] Albania was actually a more comfortable save than David Ryan made it look is bro with the efforts a great turn and spin flicks it towards goal but there’s no backlift he can’t generate any power he’s pretty comfortable for you see he just flicks it Golds rather than any great power on the shot Spain make it three wins from three in a euro group for the first time since they won the tournament in 2008 Albania’s Adventure in Germany comes to an end but what memories and what right

Albania needed a win over Spain for a chance to advance to the Round of 16 at EURO2024.
