The Balkan derby between Croatia and Albania in the European Championship is simply an epic matchup! These two Balkan iron-blooded warriors were tough to the end, and what a dramatic scene of ups and downs was staged in 90 minutes.
In the 11th minute of the opening game, Albania opened the scoring with a lion's head shake from Lachi, and goalkeeper Livakovic pounced on the ball, which was very embarrassing. Croatia encircled and attacked fiercely throughout the field, and the offensive was even more prosperous after replacing the high-school striker Budimir. In the 74th minute, Kramaric received a wonderful pass from Budimir and shook off the angle of the near corner to score, just in time for his 33rd birthday, which was too memorable.
Just 3 minutes later, the own goal drama was staged, Jasula cleared the ball in the penalty area and accidentally set himself up for an own goal, Croatia reversed 2-1, you say how depressing it is. In stoppage time, Croatia captain Luka Modric missed a great chance to score and Livakovic struggled to save a long nosebleed. At the last moment, Jasura made up for the previous oolong regret with a stoppage-time equal, 2-2! There is true love in the world, and this ending is too dramatic.
To be honest, who would have thought that Croatia, who topped the group in this European Cup, did not even win a game after two rounds, and after Spain thrashed them 0-3, Albania drew again this time. can make Modric worried, when will these Balkan iron men rise up, otherwise it will be a problem to qualify. On the contrary, Albania, in the first round of the European Cup, scored a lightning goal in 23 seconds, creating the fastest goal in the history of the European Cup.
The world ranking is worse by more than 50 places, Croatia is 10, Albania is 66, but no one is willing to give in. Jasula, the tragicomic protagonist, first poses himself as an oolong, and then becomes a savior. Kramaric was a 33rd birthday stunner, but it fell short. The whole second half was like a roller coaster, and the score of 2-2 also interpreted the core of the spirit of "fight to the end and never give up" to the greatest extent. Looking forward to Croatia and Albania's next performances, your blood and tenacity deserve all the fans' applause, applause and screams!
