The Stoke City star's fantastic overhead kick in the round-of-16 encounter was in vain but he and his countrymen will always be able to look back on a truly wonderful moment
It may have been in vain in the end but Xherdan Shaqiri scored the best goal of Euro 2016 so far and it is difficult to imagine it being topped.
An elegant and exhilirating overhead kick, the Stoke City star equalised for Switzerland against Poland to give them hope of remaining in the competition.
Despite Switzerland being the better team from then on, they lost on penalties after Granit Xhaka missed his spot kick.
