At Euro 2024, Switzerland's incredible first-half goal from Shaqiri secured a 1-1 draw against Scotland. At thirty-two years old, Xherdan Shaqiri is back on the international scene and back to scoring goals after leaving elite European soccer to play in the Major League Soccer (MLS). At Euro 2024 on Wednesday, his incredible goal in the first half kept Switzerland and Scotland tied at one.
Shaqiri has scored in six consecutive major international tournaments, going all the way back to the 2014 World Cup. That's three consecutive World Cups and three European Championships for the striker for the Chicago Fire. He is the first player to accomplish that accomplishment, according to UEFA. When Scott McTominay's strike deflected off Fabian Schar in the 13th minute and past Switzerland's Yann Sommer in goal, Scotland gained the lead.
