Klaus Gjasula: Klaus Gjasula turned hero from villain in the same match as he scored a late equaliser to cancel out his own goal earlier in the match as Albania fought back to hold Croatia to a 2-2 draw in a Group B match of the Euro 2024 here on Wednesday.

Gjasula's last-gasp strike, coming in the fifth minute of second-half added time helped Albania gain one point in Euro 2024.

Croatia, who lost 3-0 to Spain in their opening match, produced a much-improved second-half showing in Hamburg, only to be pegged back at the death by a plucky Albania in Group B – as the near neighbours shared the points in their first-ever meeting.
