Historic! Albania in the World Cup play-offs

Albania makes history as it advances to the World Cup Playoffs for the first time.

The national team suffered but won 0-1 against Andorra, while Serbia lost 2-0 in England.

In Andorra, the pace was satisfactory at the beginning, with the Rossoneri showing great desire to go for the goal.

The first serious attempt was by Kristjan Asllani from the free kick, but the ball ended up out of bounds.

The locals were also dangerous, as they caused "trembles" at the Strakosha goal several times through counterattacks.

In extra time, during a corner kick, only the crossbar stopped Gjimshiti.

At the start of the second half, Sylvinho's team increased the pressure and found the goal with Asllan, who made the most of an assist from Uzun from the wings.

With this victory, Albania advances to the Play Offs after one match from the end, ranking in second place with 14 points, 4 more than Serbia.
