Euro 2016, Albania-Switzerland: Two major mistakes worth undeserved defeat (0-1)

Albania showed his best side. Their small errors were those who sapped them as they were quite correct throughout the game, even when they were reduced to ten after the expulsion of their captain 35 minutes error in a corner of the goalkeeper Berisha is what caused the only goal of the game. The duel between the Xhaka was one of the inducements, but were not decisive.

Characters

Lorik Cana . A captain must lead by example and this time it was not. Cana left his companions with one less at the time when most needed his presence. An absurd action where Cana was wrong was decisive. His team gave everything and lacked a point of Cana.

The Xhaka brothers . It was the 'derby'. Both faced in what was the first meeting between brothers in the history of the tournament. They were not really players already in the field, not the most prominent, but it was the salsa party.

Armando Sadiku . It was he who led the Albanian danger, and it was not little. Throughout the match I knew ruffle the feathers of the Swiss defense, with great success without actually finish the job. It was a sore head for the opponent and put hope until the last minute.
