Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka have given Serbia another shot. Very heavy even. Fatal.
The two Albanians have led Switzerland, which on Friday night defeated Serbia with the result 3:2. Switzerland advanced to the knockout phase of the World Cup in Qatar, while the Serbs can start packing their bags. They are eliminated.
The match at the "974" stadium in Doha was emotional and tense. Xherdan Shaqiri had a great match, scoring one goal and starting the actions for the other two. Xhaka was stable in the midfield, while there were two moments of tension with the Serbian players. After being provoked by the Serbian reserves, Xhaka responded by cursing them. A stampede was created in the middle of the second half, but calm soon returned. In the end, there was another case of tension. Xhaka was surrounded by the Serbian players, but he initially faced them alone. Then he was helped by other Swiss players.
Even four years ago in Russia, Xhaka and Shaqiri were decisive for the 2:1 victory over Serbia. Both scored goals and celebrated with an eagle. That holiday was discussed for a long time and is still being discussed.
The two Albanians had another big match on Friday night in Qatar. And again for their actions on the field, their brilliance will be discussed for a long time.
