Romania 0-1 Albania: Sadiku goal gives underdogs chance of progress

The tournament underdogs recorded a superb victory on Sunday evening, with their first ever tournament goal from Armando Sadiku enough for three precious points

Albania pulled off one of the biggest upsets of Euro 2016 thus far as they defeated Romania 1-0 in Group A on Sunday.

Gianni De Biasi's side had lost their opening games against Switzerland and hosts France but produced a superb performance to claim their first win at a major tournament.

Having scored just seven goals in qualifying for the competition, Albania showed why they have struggled in front of goal by spurning some gilt-edged opportunities in the first half.
