All of England is looking at the London Wembleystadion this evening. The traditional arena is sold out. And England’s new national coach Thomas Tuchel is hot for his first game as a coach of the “Three Lions”. The World Cup qualification is against Albania.
34th minute – as soon as you wrote that, there is a top chance! Marcus Rashford sends Jude Bellingham left into the penalty area. Real Madrid’s midfielder comes to a close angle, but Strakosha can parry the ball.
33. Minute – the game is rippling a bit, little happens in the Wembley.
27th minute – egg egg, that was scarce! Center defender Dan Burn wants to clarify a ball, but the arch lamp flies onto your latte. As a result, there is a corner kick for Albania, but it does not bring anything.
25th minute – the game has been somewhat calmed down since the goal. The Albanians go on it a little earlier, but still without success.
19th minute – goal for England! The first goal closing also becomes a goal. Jude Bellingham plays an outstanding steep pass into the penalty area, where debutant Myles Lewis-Skelly from FC Arsenal lurks and pushes the ball into the goal through the legs of Strakosha. What an international start for the 18-year-old.
17th minute – that was the first really good opportunity for England! Via Bellingham and Rashford, the ball comes to the penalty area, but it is a bit too far. Albania’s goalkeeper Strakosha can just take the ball away from him.

5th minute – England has a lot of the ball, the guests from Albania defend very deeply.
1st minute – The Spanish referee Alejandro Hernandez whistles the game in the Wembley. The game is running.
Before the game – Albania wins the coin tunnel and has an impetus.
Before the game-long-term goal is to win the 2026 World Cup title in the USA, Canada and Mexico-and the end of the then 60-year dry spell. With a view to the tournament, Tuchel’s first cadre nomination in England had caused discussions. Critics primarily expressed lack of understanding of the appointment of 34-year-old Ajax professional Jordan Henderson.
