Golden opportunity for the Rossoneri, Mehmeti makes a mistake alone in front of goal

The Albanian national team started the friendly against Israel at "Air Albania" with pace and aggression, but in the 10th minute they missed a golden opportunity to take the lead.

After a beautiful move from the right wing, Elseid Hysaj sent a perfect cross into the area for Anis Mehmeti.

The red and black striker found himself completely alone in front of goal, but unbelievably sent the ball over the crossbar, missing a goal that seemed easier to score than to miss.

The incident caused surprise in the stands of "Air Albania", while Mehmeti failed to benefit from the trust of new coach Rolando Maran, who made him a starter in his debut on the red and black bench.

Despite the missed opportunity, Albania showed initiative in the opening minutes, exerting high pressure on the Israelis and looking for the advantage goal.
