🏆 Albanian star makes EUROs history in all-action substitute appearance | OneFootball

Klaus Gjasula's all-action substitute performance for Albania has earned him a spot in footballing history.

The veteran defender was sent on with his side 1-0 up with 18 minutes to play, and saw his side immediately concede.

Two minutes later, it got worse as an effort from Luka Sučić took a deflection off Gjasula to complete a quickfire turnaround for Croatia and leave Albania facing heartbreak.

But five minutes into added time, the 34-year-old made amends by snatching a late equaliser as a deflected effort fell to him. In doing so, he became the first substitute in either World Cup or European Championship History to manage it, before picking up a yellow card to round off a busy 20 minutes.

Despite this, it's safe to say he won't be having to buy a drink in Albania any time soon, while his record may stand longer still.

On top of that, his effort was the latest ever equaliser in the history of the EUROs.

Meanwhile, this German reaction needs no translation.

We're only five days into EURO 2024, but it's already shaping up to be an all-timer.
