Albania-Switzerland: Gashi Almost a Hero

Rapids forward Shkelzen Gashi comes on in the 82nd minute with Albania down a goal, but can't convert.

In Albania's first appearance in the Euros, Rapids forward Shkelzen Gashi had a chance to become a legend. But, like every other shot by Albania's strikers on the day, Gashi's ball found Swiss GK Yann Sommer.

Albania fell behind quickly on a goalkeeper gaffe in just the 5th minute, as keeper Etrit Berisha came out for Switzerland's first corner, but failed to reach the ball before Fabian Schar headed it into the net. It got worse from there.
