Updated Jun. 16, 2024 9:32 a.m. ET

Albania has scored the fastest ever goal at a European Championship — after just 23 seconds.

Nedim Bajrami capitalized on an errant throw-in by Italy to smash a rising shot inside the near post in Dortmund on Saturday.

The previous quickest goal in the competition was by Dmitri Kirichenko of Russia after 67 seconds in 2004.
