After 25 minutes of play at the “Air Albania” in Tirana, the match between Albania and England has yet to yield goals. Albania had its best chance with Elseid Hysaj in the 18th minute.

Lazio defender Hysaj took a shot from distance, but it went just over the crossbar. A few minutes after shooting powerfully towards goal, Hysaj left the field due to injury.

He was replaced by Ivan Balliu in the 25th minute. England are better at passing the ball, but have yet to seriously threaten goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha's goal.
