After reaching the Play Off stage, Albania was defeated 0-2 by England at "Air Albania", ending the World Cup qualifying campaign with a loss.
Coach Sylvinho confirmed that all the attention of the Rossoneri is on the March challenges, this was clearly seen in the starting lineup where he spared 4 out of 5 players who were at risk of the play-off challenges. As expected, England started the challenge on the attack, but without seriously threatening Strakosha's goal.
Albania did not even cross passively, and Hysaj even attempted a goal for the catalog, but his shot ended just over the crossbar. Without pressure and with the desire to implement another historical achievement, Albania embarrassed England with some risky drops with Arbër Hoxha. Qualified as the top of the group, England calmly took the first fraction, where they scored the first risky chance in the 37th minute when the shot of Boue and Kuensa set goalkeeper Strakosha in motion. The first half of this luxurious match ended in a goalless draw.
In the second half, Tuchel's team scored twice through Kane. However, there was nothing to worry about for Albania, who played a good game and will now be thinking about the World Cup Play Offs. England finished without conceding a goal, a fantastic record for the "Three Lions".
