Bajrami reduced the previous Euros record which was fastest goal of 67 seconds by Dmitri Kirichenko of Russia against Greece in year 2004.
Albania’s Nedium Bajrami put his side ahead after in 23 seconds in their opening Euro 2024 versus Italy on Saturday for the fastest goal ever scored at a European Championship. However Italy gave back quickly response to equalise the score through Bastoni in the 11th minutes before Nicolo Barella put the Azzurri ahead in the 16th minute of game.
Before three years ago among the list of fastest ever goals at the tournament was Luke Shaw’s strike for England against Italy in the final of Euro 2020 at Wembley.
After just one minute and 56 seconds Luke Shaw netted for what remains the sixth-fastest ever at the competition. Italy won that final on penalties.
