In a stunning display of speed and precision, Albania etched its name into the history books of the European Championships. Just 23 seconds into their opening match against France, striker Armando Broja netted the fastest goal in the tournament's history.

The goal sent shockwaves through Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund and electrified the Albanian fans in attendance. It also shattered the previous record held by Russia's Dmitri Kirichenko, who scored 26 seconds into a match against Greece in 2004.

Broja's early strike sent a clear message to the rest of the field: Albania is a team to be reckoned with. The Eagles will look to build on their historic start as they face Denmark and England in their remaining Group A matches.
