Match Recap
Ernest Muci broke the deadlock just before the break, and Rey Manaj doubled it five minutes into the second half to put Albania firmly in control at the top of their UEFA Nations League group. The 2-0 win over Finland pushes Albania to 9 points and first place, while Finland slip to third on 7 despite arriving with three wins from four. It's also payback of sorts: Finland had taken the only previous meeting between these two sides, so this result flips the head-to-head in Albania's favor. Muci's strike showed the composure of a side riding a two-game winning run, and Manaj's finish right after the restart killed any hope of a Finnish response before it could build. Neither name sits among the league's current top scorers, where England's Harry Kane leads the way, but on this night Albania didn't need a star turn, just two well-taken goals at the right moments. Watch how Manaj capitalizes on the space Finland leave open seconds after kickoff of the second half, the goal that turned a narrow lead into total control.
