In a historic moment at the European Championship, Albania’s Nedim Bajrami scored the fastest goal ever in just 23 seconds against Italy. Bajrami capitalized on an error to smash the ball past the goalkeeper, eclipsing the previous record set in 2004. Despite their spirited start, Albania ultimately lost 2-1. The goal sparked Italy into action, reminiscent of their Euro 2020 comeback. The overwhelming Albanian support at Westfalenstadion impressed coach Sylvinho, who acknowledged the team’s lack of major tournament experience. Despite the loss, Bajrami’s goal remains a cherished moment for Albanian football on the European stage.
