Italy secured its first win in the Euro 2024 against Albania on Saturday. The match was kicked into high gear after just 23 seconds of play when Albania's Nedim Bajrami scored, surprising the Italian defense. It was the fastest goal ever scored at a European Championship, APA reports.
Italy answered ten minutes later with Alessandro Bastoni's header following a corner kick. Nicolo Barella sealed Italy's victory in the 16th minute. The second half was comparatively uneventful, with a pitch invader stopping the game in extra time, and Italy came out with a predictable 69% ball possession. Albania will go on to play Croatia on Wednesday, while Italy will face Spain on Thursday.
